Split the class in 2 groups and give Hand out ( Vocabulary exercise 1C : Which of the crimes in 1A do you think are...) and get them to discuss their answers to the 3 questions.Ask each group for their collected opinions on the individual questions to encourage a debate. 1) Which is the most/least serious? 2) Most common and least common in your country? 3) Someone you know a victim of crime? Keep this last one short as it could drag off subject for too long.
