The Big Read

Next week on May 11 my Language Arts class will be sponsoring a pilot attempt at creating a mini-Big Read (where everyone in the area reads one book in the same time frame to spur discussion of issues raised, etc.) in our school.
For this year the idea of doing a novel was a little taunting for a first go, so we are doing The Lorax. Every class in the school will read the Lorax during homeroom and then we will encourage all class periods to have discussions or complete activities related to topics in the Lorax and their subject area.
If anyone has neat ideas or suggestions that I can pass on to math, science, or social studies teachers in particular, let me know!
Thanks--
