You may also want to use situations students relate to in their
lives. Live situations as I call them. For instance, sports teams
performance and related problems, or situations such as how a part of a
city becomes to known as "innercity," or examples from the university
iteself (housing, registrars, etc.), or what happens where they work as
part-timers,...
