Table Talk!
Scan the newspaper or the Internet for articles that interest you. What is the pulse of public opinion in your family about some of the more pressing issues of the day? Find out by having your own "op-ed" session. Skim the editorial page of your newspaper for subject matter (recycling, energy, conservation, teacher's pay, etc.) and bring some of the most interesting topics to the table. Take turns offering a commentary on the subject. Remember to begin with a headline that summarizes the piece. Then read the newspaper out loud, so people can compare their ideas with those of the pundits.
