🏛 Behind the Verdict
Students read an original article comparing prison systems around the world — from Norway's rehabilitation-focused approach to the US punishment model. Criminal psychologist Dr. Katarina Lindqvist argues for rehabilitation while prosecutor Elena Marchetti defends consequences. Mixed conditionals (past cause → present result and present cause → past result) are embedded naturally throughout. The matching game connects if-clauses to results across time zones, while discussion questions tackle justice, fairness, and the purpose of prison.
