B2 ESL lesson "Punishment or Rehabilitation?" — past modals with the Norwegian prison system

Law, Crime and Justice Vocabulary

This lesson explores the Norwegian prison system, famous for its minimal restrictions and focus on rehabilitation. Students learn words and phrases related to law, crime, punishment, and rehabilitation, and practise common phrasal verbs used in the context of justice and safety.

Modals in the Past: Must Have, Should Have, Can't Have

Learners use must have for certainty, might/could have for possibility, should have for advice in the past, and can't have for impossibility. Tasks include gap-fills, sentence transformations, and case studies inspired by prison life and rehabilitation stories.

Speaking and Debate: Does Rehabilitation Work?

Learners read about Norwegian prisons, join debates on whether rehabilitation works better than punishment, and role-play judges, guards, and inmates. Writing practice includes short reflections on crime prevention and justice systems.
