Gordon KormanA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Mr. Kermit and the students are apathetic about attending Greenwich Middle School in Room 117. Consider the novel’s theme Our Decisions Affect Those Around Us as you analyze and discuss how their opinions and attitudes change in the story. Consider these points as you formulate a response.
Teaching Suggestion: A large portion of the novel explores the impact of other people on self-image. Consider encouraging students to explore the reasons behind the self-image of Mr. Kermit and the students in Room 117. It may be helpful to analyze the prompt chronologically as Mr. Kermit and the students’ understanding of their place in Greenwich Middle School slowly changes as events in the novel happen.
Differentiation Suggestion: For students who may benefit from strategies for abstract thinking, it may be useful to provide students with a cause-and-effect graphic organizer that allows them to examine the reason for Room 117’s changed behavior.
