    Christa et all,
    This sounds really neat. Awhile back I did something similar with foundations
    students except I clipped titles that were funny from the Star or some
    tabloid from the grocery store. I know the titles weren't anything like what
    you'd find in them now. The kids had to create a piece of art work in 2 hours
    that displayed that theme. it was a riot. There was lots of laughing aqnd the
    kids really enjoyed it. Some really creative stuff ensued too.
