Wonder Lesson 18: Jack Will - PowerPoint

In Lesson 18 of the English Teaching Resources, students delve into the nuances of friendship through the lens of the book 'Wonder'. The class reads and discusses pages 63-64, focusing on the characters Auggie and Jack Will, and how their friendship evolves. Students are encouraged to continue using their 'Wonder Dictionary' to enhance their vocabulary. The discussion centres on identifying the ways in which Jack demonstrates his friendship towards Auggie, providing an opportunity for students to reflect on the qualities of a good friend and the dynamics of their relationship within the story.

The lesson also includes a 'Word warm-up' activity centred on the concept of present tense, where students are tasked with converting sentences from past to present tense. This exercise helps students understand the importance of verb tense in indicating the time frame of actions. After practicing with examples from the book, students check their answers and discuss any challenges they encountered. Additionally, the lesson involves a role-play activity, where students re-enact scenes from the book in small groups. They are encouraged to stay true to the original dialogue and get creative with props. This interactive approach not only aids in comprehension of the text but also fosters teamwork and dramatic expression.
