- Alternative discussion formats
- Class discussions often take one of two forms — either question-and-answer sessions, in which the teacher throws out questions and students answer them, or debates.

- The Great Gilly Hopkins: Characterization and prediction
- In the final chapters of the novel, Gilly's grandmother learns she has a granddaughter and decides to take Gilly out of foster care.

This activity can be used at the end of the novel, but I like to use it after reading chapters 10 and 11 so students can compare the courtroom decision to the end of the novel. - Format: lesson plan (grade 6 English Language Arts)
