Lisa,

I'm curious how you facilitate a discussion with 89 5th and 6th graders! Are they all in the same discussion or do they break out into individual groups? Do you use weighted voting until 45 of them agree on the same book with a 45 point spread? Just curious!

I'm doing my mock Newbery with about fifteen students today. Our shortlist has ten books, but I think it's a two-horse race between WHEN YOU REACH ME and THE LAST OLYMPIAN.
