The initial stage is based on two speaking activities: a conversation and a brainstorming activity to get your students to talk and to assess their knowledge of the topic. These activities are then extended to a whole class discussion and even into a writing task. The second stage sees students learning 18 types of crimes by matching words with definitions. They will also learn how to call the different kinds of criminals who commit the 18 crimes mentioned through an engaging crossword. Both matching and crossword can be done either in pairs or small groups. The third stage requires students to engage in reading short stories and guessing the type of crime.
