English lesson in which students relate
a text to a real-world problem
If I work with special needs students, what could I do?

I'd decide on a "real-world problem" first and then find newspaper and/or news magazine articles that report and analyze it.
Be sure you check the reading level of whatever newspapers and/or news magazines you choose from. For example, I went to www.google.com and entered reading level of nytimes and learned it's considered grade 10 level.
