this is an excellent little tactic to remind students to be critical thinkers - but I think i would go about it differently - i would hate to blow their trust in the teacher. Perhaps to do such a presentation then direct question them on the validity of the content within the same lesson would be better. I would hate to have them wlking around feeling totally duped for days.

Writing Fix (online resource) Here's an interesting free resource for anyone involved in teaching or learning writing skills. This site has been put together by the writers, teachers and students of the Northern Nevada Writing Project to support the development of writing skills with the Six Trait Model. The site hosts an extensive collection of lessons, activities and other resources. (The Writing Fix is one of 190 web sites sponsored by the National Writing Project in the US.) Featured prominently at the Writing Fix are two separate "prompt generators". One is called the "Interactive Instant Plot Creator". You press separate buttons to bring up random suggestions for setting, character, and conflict. To go along with this idea generator, there is a downloadable "pre-writing worksheet" as well as a "rough draft worksheet". The other generator is called the "Random Prompt Generator for Writers". This second prompt generator consists of 470 prompts, each of which begins with a question that is followed by a suggested writing task.

A very neat and useful way to teach proper sentence  structures without the pain of worksheets. Use Tag or YES NO questions as a regular feedback strategy and students will soon get the idea.
