Sharks
For each of the text sets, there are some additional suggestions of articles listed and a few possible new questions the club might discuss. Note that these are just a few of the questions students could discuss—the best situation would be that they come up with their own questions—the ones below are only meant as a guide. Students can also discuss ideas rather than questions.
