Chattering or Silence? How did your students respond to discussing the news?

When my journalism students are working in groups, I love to listen in. Most of the time, it's music to my ears because they're having lively discussions about the topic at hand. What was your experience in your classes this week? Did your students really get into discussing the news or were they bored? What story did they decide should be the lead story if they were editor? Why? Was everyone in agreement or were there debates about which story deserved to be the lead? What recommendations do you have for next week's discussion? Let us hear from you!
