I am looking to do a literature study on the book "Wonder" for my fifth grade students. These fifth graders come into this classroom from all walks of life. With that being said, I want them to read about a character who has their own walk of life but chooses determination and perseverance when faced with challenges.
In a world with social media at our finger tips, words that are only said behind screens, and constant judgment placed on the what we see on the outside rather than looking in, I want my students to understand what is means to be different and how different can change the world we live in! This book provides a character who is in fifth grade himself who is starting his school year in a brand new school. He was born with a facial deformity. Although he is an ordinary fifth grader who excels in his education, other students judge his appearance.
This book will not only serve as a learning tool through literacy, but will provide the classroom a sense of community in the fact that we can come together as a world if we accept our differences. My students excel in their studies but lack empathy for one another. What better way to teach them how to empathize for each other than putting a book in their hand to show them that they are not the only ones who struggle with being "different", or rather just who they are at some point in school?
