The FUSION OF FIRESTORMS strategy

fusion: the process or result of joining two or more things together to form a single entity
(such as combining various topics, like aliens and a new world order into one story)

firestorm: a raging controversy

     This all started while Jim was learning the hearts and minds of teenagers for more than 20 years, not only in the classroom but in the on-campus student led Christian clubs. He saw what they loved or hated in the stories they were required to read and what was available in the library. 
 
     "I treasured sitting and listening to students talk about their lives, or anything else they enjoyed sharing. But if a topic I was fascinated with came up in conversation, and the "said topic" was controversial, then my adrenaline kicked in, and with great restraint shared as well. But I began to notice a trend with most students. The most popular topics that kept coming up from my high school English class students, ranged from conspiracy theories, to aliens, and of course the Illuminati - a potential strategy was born."

     "One day when I was hanging out with my wife in one of her favorite stores, I read a sign cleverly placed next to one of the establishment's most popular products. The sign informed you that, "The ingredients in this soap helps to induce sleep for kids".  I thought, "Wow, kids will happily play with the bar of soap shaped like a robot, not knowing it could possibly calm them down and maybe even help them fall asleep" - genius."
 
     "My mind went back to those students and their choice topics, so I began to design and plan lessons (not subverting the required curriculum) using the "firestorm" subjects of debate. Soon thereafter, I observed students willingly jump into a lesson, without thinking about the positive affects the ingredients of it could have on their burgeoning grammar and composition skills."

     "For years I was approached by seniors who would ask if I was talking about their favorite topics so they could come by and visit. Even after I retired and visited the campus a year later, I was still approached by students who were pleading with me to come to their class and talk about subjects they seemed to be hungry for."
