Things like: The beatles, "Let it be" and verb conjugation Loonie toons and other cartoons to teach adjectives Rock and roll and modal auxiliaries. The are not too interested in ideologcal stuff such as poverty, access, gender issues, etc. A few years ago I was thinking of submitting several proposals with cute titles and bogus content to see if they got accepted. I am kind of lazy though.
