This PowerPoint lesson is a true crime listening activity based on the disappearance of Mike Williams, a real case from Florida. The first slide introduces the story with an atmospheric picture and embedded audio narration (MP3 generated with natural voices). Students begin by listening to the story without reading, just like a real podcast or YouTube true crime video.

The following slides contain a variety of comprehension tasks: true/false statements, short answer questions, and multiple-choice questions to check understanding of the details. A final discussion section allows students to share their opinions about justice, fairness, and punishment.

The activity focuses on listening comprehension, vocabulary in context, and speaking skills. It works well for B1–B2 learners who enjoy real-world, dramatic stories. The PowerPoint format makes the lesson easy to run in class—simply play the audio directly from the slides and guide students through the questions.

True Crime: Mr. & Mrs. Murder Case

This is a fun and interactive roleplay game to practice workplace safety English. Students take turns playing the Boss, who is the safety officer, and the Clueless Worker, who breaks rules and makes excuses. The Boss must give clear safety instructions using phrases such as “You must…” or “It’s dangerous because…,” while the Worker acts out unsafe behavior with a funny character twist, for example being hungover, lazy, joking, or too cool to care. The game works by sending the Boss outside, giving the Worker a secret role, and letting the class help the Worker prepare excuses. When the Boss returns, they receive a safety task and must convince the Worker to follow the rules. The roleplay lasts three minutes, and afterwards the class votes and gives feedback.

The resource includes twenty scenarios that can be used throughout the year as well as a helpful phrases slide. It is designed to practice modal verbs, imperatives, cause and effect, and persuasive language in a memorable and engaging way. This activity works best with teens, vocational students, or adults at A2–B1 level who are learning speaking, roleplay, communication, and workplace vocabulary.
