As we are currently in Hurricane Season, and the news today was discussing Hurricane Isaac, perhaps the start of the new school year could be a chance to focus on Extreme Weather or Natural Hazards - or the relevant section of the (hopefully accredited) specification that you are teaching.
Check the ESRI Hurricane and Cyclone disaster map, which is constantly updated, and is currently showing the track of Isaac and associated media...
Don't forget that you can also add a WEATHER layer to Google Earth...
Isaac is over two hundred miles wide at present, and travelling at around 10 miles an hour towards New Orleans....
Perhaps a chance to compare with Hurricane Katrina...
