In this lesson, students will explore famous cases, learn essential crime and legal vocabulary, and practice speaking about justice and punishment. Using engaging texts about O.J. Simpson, Bernie Madoff, and Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos, learners will develop comprehension skills, match legal terms with their meanings, and discuss crime in their own countries.
Warm-up activities like brainstorming crime vocabulary, guessing mini-riddles, and imagining crime headlines set the stage for meaningful communication.
By the end of the lesson, students will not only understand key words like accuse, arrest, convict, sentence, and fraud, but also confidently discuss legal processes and share their opinions on justice, crime, and law enforcement.
This lesson is perfect for B1+/B2 students who want to combine reading, speaking, and critical thinking in English.
Happy teaching & learning!
