I would think the book would lend itself to students having to create a problem based assignment for next year's students. The students could pick any of the issues raised in the book, translate those to real life scenarios and create a problem that needs to be solved during the reading process next year. If they need help they could Google PBL and see the components needed to complete this assignment.

We are going to be reading *The House of the Scorpion*. I need some help thinking about the final project for the book. I'm thinking holding a debate although I've never facilitated one before and I'm unsure how to go about guiding the students. Just looking for suggestions/resources for getting them started.
