In this video quiz, students will be making eight sentences on their own using should (not) + have + V3 to talk about mishaps and missed opportunities in the past, e.g. "The robber should have opened the door first." 

"Deuspi" is a silent film without any language  spoken, so we will be exploiting the visuals in this lesson by getting students to create their original sentences in English to describe what they have just seen.

There are 8 open-ended questions in the video quiz with example solutions provided. If your students are doing this for homework, they can self-correct using the example solutions (by comparing their own answer to the sample answer they can choose whether to award themselves a point or not).

Have you heard stories about dumb criminals in the news?

How safe is your neighborhood? Have you heard about any incidents lately?

How often do you see police on the street where you live?

DISCUSSION: Let the class discuss the discussion questions in pairs. After the pairwork, get some of the students share with the whole class.

WRITING or ROLE PLAY: Have the swat team leader explain to his superior(s) (=bosses) why they failed to capture the other robber. It can either be a role play or a writing task.

VOCABULARY BOOSTING: You can have students fill in the blanks in this worksheet: https://en.islcollective.com/resources/printables/worksheets_doc_docx/grocery_store_robbery_-_fill_in_the_blanks/crime-law-and/100353 It's a newsflash about the grocery store robbery.

WRITING: Use the worksheet above or this story (article + video: http://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/252439818-story ) to provide an example of a newsflash about a robbery. Then get students to write a similar newsflash about the robbery seen in the short film. Encourage them to borrow as many phrases from the newsflash as they wish.
