A great idea for showing language arts pupils the universality of themes, even in the real world! Have class members choose an idea-noun (peace, justice, war, love, etc.) at the beginning of the year or semester. They complete weekly reflections on a current event article dealing with that idea-noun and attempting to answer the essential question: How does this source change/support/influence your definition of your chosen noun? Remember to cover good research practices first.
