Stories are powerful and effective. They are also available in plenty - identify local stories, folk stories etc. In addition non-fiction audio resources can be quite thought provoking and creativity enhancing for older students.
The very process of creating a resource can help the students think more deeply about an issue or a topic and develop their own perspectives and thinking. Supporting students to do this in a team/group / collaborative manner also helps them to understand diverse perspectives / views on any issue.
The non-fiction topics can also be connected to other topics/subjects students are already engaging with. Some examples are given here
A conversation between two historical figures:
# Historical context/event - such as
## between Onakke Obbava and her husband after her bravery
# Historical event but in a contemporary context
## Babasaheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhiji discussing the social issues of today
## Sarojini Naidu and your Panchayat President on gender issues in your village
# Recording of an event - conversations amongst participants
## Panchayat meeting
## Hotel - arguments between customers and waiter
## Hospital - discussion between Nurse and patient
## Court - arguments between prosecution and defence lawyers, cross-examination of witnesses
## Bank - customer requesting for a loan
# Recording of imaginary conversations between two or more (other than human beings) - on contemoporary issues
## Hybrid plant discussing its happy and sad state with its cousin which is not hybrid
## Corona virus and Dengue virus and Aedes Egypti musquito
## School bench and black board
