for example, a book which contains short excerpts/passages on various topics (i.e. smoking and its health risks) followed by related questions (i.e. do ou smoke, why? what do you think of ciggarete ads?) etc etc

thanks for any info

Love,

Though a bit dated, this is a series you might be interested in-- have used it in the past as a time filler and/or an intro to topic-based lessons. Easy enough to find, as it's a Pusan Nat'l Uni book. Aptly named Discussion Topics for Korean Students (in various forms-- high school, uni, etc)

Your example of 'smoking' got me remembering it, as it is one of the topics.

Another series is the Impact series by Pearson. I like these, as I use them for discussion/debating purposes. (Cosmetic surgery, drinking coworkers, computer obsessed bf's, etc)

Impact was exactly the type of book i was looking for.

Thanks alot

I'm using "Cactus Junior Fusion" for my middle school discussion class~ It has a few build-up questions, a story about a subject or person, and then sections with questions about the senses used and information from the passage, followed by a bunch of thought questions. There are other books in the Cactus line as well~
