Foster Care
Gilly is a foster child for Ms. Trotter. Foster care affects many families and so we have questions. Our school counselor will discuss various things about foster care with us including how kids become foster children.



 

Character Charts
Occasionally, we will stop to identify and discuss the emotions our characters are experiencing. This is a character-driven plot so understanding how our characters grow and change is important to understanding the story.



 

Prediction Chart
We will be working on predicting the plot as we finish each chapter. The larger question is what will happen to Gilly?
