I've had so many e-mails about the worldview class I've taught my son and I'm teaching at our co-op that I thought I'd share with you what I taught yesterday morning. (Which reminds me, I have not had the time to answer any e-mails this week!)
I spent a couple hours reading various editorials and articles and ended up printing out one by Helen Thomas (very liberal), one by Peggy Noonan (conservative), and an excellent apologetics article by Nancy Pearcey.
I had various students read each of the papers out loud and then we noted the sections of the writing which indicated the worldview of the writer. They enjoyed it very much. I believe they continue to learn enough to help them become discerning readers. On each article, I added the original site address so they could go back and read more if desired.
I'm taking a rest the remainder of the day. I plan to do some reading and some baking. I have cinnamon roll dough in the bread machine to be rolled out and baked in time for a late afternoon snack...a perfect treat for a blustery day...cinnamon rolls and books.

Your worldview class sounded very interesting. Thank you for sharing --- you make me miss the homeschool days very much!
I'm going to go read those articles. I just wanted to say...I think I smell your cinnamon rolls. LOL
