This worksheet explores the recent NBA gambling investigation involving alleged links to organized crime. Students begin with a vocabulary matching task split into two groups, focusing on legal and investigative language such as *allege, charge, fraud,* and *money laundering*. After learning the vocabulary, they read a news-style article about two NBA figures accused of participating in a Mafia-connected betting scheme. The reading includes comprehension questions that test understanding of key facts and ideas. The final section features ten tweet-style reactions with short reply threads to simulate real social media discourse. Students analyze tone, identify vocabulary in context, and write their own short responses and tweets to express opinions on integrity, justice, and media reaction. The lesson combines legal and digital language, encouraging critical thinking and discussion in a realistic, modern format.
