Real-life situation/contemporary problem: Crime
Knowledge issues: What was his crime? Who decides? Can people be punished for their plans? Should it be as serious as punishment for crimes?
Format: Look at news articles to see how some crimes were punished and compare them. Answer the questions: Are people punished for crimes they didn’t carry out? Is this ethical? What do law enforcers seem to think?
Knower’s (student’s) point of view: It doesn’t see as ethical to punish people for crimes they did not actually commit, but sometimes it is beneficial and necessary. For example, terrorist attacks.

Real-life situation/contemporary problem: Art Programs in Schools
Knowledge issues: Who decides what should be thought in schools? Can art programs really benefit kids in ways that other programs can’t?
Format: Look at and compare experiments and opinions of experts. School Board format maybe, with different characters talking about different knowledge issues
Knower’s (student’s) point of view: I’m not sure yet, I need to read some more articles.
