Though the discrete content here is a pair of New York Times articles about a 1998 military strike on Iraq and the coincident impeachment by the House of Representatives of then-President Clinton, this detailed plan for creating, conducting, and analyzing a survey based on related news stories could apply to any relevant nonfiction texts. From these texts, though, readers might make thought-provoking connections to current events in the Middle East.
