One of the lessons we did while studying "Freedom Writers" was a talk show like "Jerry Springer" where the students acted out the parts of families of two of the students that helped write the book. Students were assigned parts and asked to portray how the family members would feel. They were so into it they didn't want to end the lesson. Afterward they had to write papers on what they had learned about the characters and themselves, and they were pretty good.
