A full scheme of work on ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio.

This is a 1 day DIFFERENTIATED English plan/ TEACHING POWERPOINT complete with success criteria’s for the task and differentiated scaffolds for the book: Wonder by R.J Palacio- prediction from front cover The learning objective is making a PREDICTION based on the clues given on the FRONT COVER. The teaching input and questions guide children to making predictions and to give reasons for their prediction, teaching them to pay attention to all the clues given on the front cover. The lesson also includes a grammar focus of nouns and adjectives. The teaching powerpoint allows you to model answers on the different task pages. It includes a word bank to support EAL/SEN learners. This lesson gives guidance on the best pedagogical approaches to use in the classroom such as AFL questions to gather what learners’ already know, the use of talk partners to share learning, allowing learners to choose their own task (this works wonders for their self esteem), differentiated tasks that are progressive from MILD to Spicy, Spicy to Hot and from HOT to Extra HOT and assessment at the end of the lesson against the success criteria to assess learning and inform future planning.

2 introductory lessons for R.J Palacio's Wonder. Studied with a year 7 class which could be used for high ability year 6 students or low ability year 8 students. The lessons include information about the author, a task based around emotive impact of the story, analysis of the blurb, comprehension questions, tasks to lead to students learning their first impressions of the main character and a structured support to help students write their own response to the question "What are your first impressions of August's life?" -Images of the book cover to use as a mind-map for students included.

This lesson looks at the use of language and structure throughout an extract from the book 'Wonder' by R.J Palacio. Students are given a list of things to look for in the extract, a group task which allows students to work together to create a grid of techniques and effects. Complete with a model answer to be discussed as a class and the tools/support to enable students to answer the GCSE styled question "How has Palacio used language and structure to engage the reader?"

This is an example of an extract of a narrative to explain some of the features that recount might have. It is more appropriate for KS2.

This lesson explores how structure is used in the story looking at a particular extract. The lesson covers the structure techniques and effects used in the extract (extract and revision sheet of techniques attached). Students are directed through a pre-analysed section of the extract of how to analyse the use of structure and then given the full extract to do this independently. The end result supports students in answering the GCSE styled question "How does Palacio use structure to influence the reader?"

This lessons explores the GCSE styled question "How does Palacio use allusion to create a sense of sympathy?" The lesson allows for the guided reading of certain pages, discussion questions based around the technique of allusion, identification of the difference between empathy and sympathy, analysis questions to support the annotations of the extract and a supported structure to help students answer the question. Differentiated and could be used over two lessons as peer assessment is included- students should come up with the criteria you are looking for.

This fun and engaging review game is the perfect way to review your Wonder novel study. I typically put the class into small groups and ask a member of the group to choose a color and number. That is the question that they have to answer. If correct they get one point. Then I move to the next group. Alternatively the whole class answers and then we tally up the points to get a winner. I run it on an interactive whiteboard but would be equally successful on a projector, computer or TV screen. When you start the game press the shuffle button to randomize the questions ensuring that no game is ever the same. This means that this Wonder Jeopardy game came be used multiple times with the one class. Once you have unzipped the file you will find a PowerPoint Macro Show. To run the game double click the file and make sure you say "yes" to running macros. If you do not the questions will not shuffle correctly. I have tested on a PC but it should work on other devices. If this is your first time with Macros let me know by personal message and I am happy to answer all your questions. Enjoy
