I've used various subject areas, not starting with things that are obviously reading.

The topic of reading about terrorism in the newspaper came up, and we discussed how it fit our family, worker, citizen roles. My students are in a drug and alcohol program, have committed crimes and been to prison, are felons and have lost their right to vote, so they don't feel much like citizens. Discussing reading about terrorism in the newspaper was one area where they seemed to feel like "real citizens." > > >Millie Kuth >Hamilton City ABLE >Hamilton OH 45011
