Five years ago, Marnie killed her abusive husband, Mike, in self-defense. Convicted of murder, she's released from prison early. Coming home should mean freedom. But not for Marnie. For the next three years, Marnie is confined to house arrest. She has 100 feet of freedom.
No exceptions. Marnie is prepared to stay on her 100-foot electronic leash and make the best of it. What she didn't count on was Mike coming back. As an enraged and violent spirit, bent on revenge. Under the suspicious and distrustful eye of Mike's former partner, Shanks, Marnie must use her strength and guile to contend with the savage ghost of her dead husband, who now hunts her in every corner of the possessed house.
'Till death do us part' just wasn't enough for him.

This segment is about a woman who killed her violent husband and is now in house arrest. The segment shows police officers telling her about how her ankle bracelet works and its misuse consequences.
For this blog, I'm writing the matches in the correct order, but you should mix the second column up when you prepare the exercise sheet for your students. Ask your students to do the matching exercise before they watch the segment: Before viewing: Disscuss the following questions with a partner: 1 - What are the advantages and disadvantages of house arrest? 2 - Do you agree with this procedure of the law?

3 - Is it an effective way to rehabilitate prisoners? Match the condition and the consequence of the following actions. Conditions: 1 - She passes the 100 perimeter space.
2 - The alarm continues for more than 3 minutes. 3 - She breaks the house arrest rules. 4 - She has any violation.
5 - She attempts to remove the electronic ankle bracelet or tamper with the base unit. 6 - They get a blackout or something. Consequences: ( 1 ) The alarm activates. ( ) A signal is automatically sent and a car is seen immediately. ( ) She goes back to jail. ( ) It automatically adds 10 years to her sentence.
( ) An alarm automatically alerts the police. ( ) The base unit still works.
Now watch the segment and decide whether your guesses were correct. Now rewrite the couple of sentences, using the 1st conditional: Ex: 1 - If she passes the 100 feet perimeter, the alarm will activate.
Brasilia, DF, Brazil I'm a teacher at Casa Thomas Jefferson, Brasilia, Brazil. I'm a Branch Coordinator and Teacher Trainer as well. I really like movies and seeing them with 'different' eyes, trying to see how I can use them in my classroom. Recently, I have dedicated my ideas to grammar activities with movie segments because, apparently, teachers use movies for many purposes, but grammar. Working with movie segments fosters students' production and interest.
I truly believe that grammar exercises should be attractive. I have just developed a new blog for movie segments to enhance topic based classes, focusing on conversation, listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. If you have suggestions for the blogs and the activities, just say it!
