Can You Trust Your Memory?

What if your own memory betrayed you? This 90-minute lesson dives into the fascinating world of false memories, wrongful convictions, and the surprising science behind how our brains rewrite the past. Based on Elizabeth Loftus’s eye-opening TEDx talk, your students will question whether memory can ever truly be trusted.

Students will:

• Build advanced vocabulary around law, psychology, and ethics

• Practice listening and comprehension with an authentic TEDx video

• Strengthen critical thinking skills by analyzing real cases

• Debate how memory shapes justice, truth, and everyday life

Perfect for upper-intermediate to advanced learners (B2–C1), this lesson blends courtroom drama with cutting-edge science—making it unforgettable (but hopefully not false!).
