Wonder Lesson 6: Christopher's House - PowerPoint

Delve into an interactive learning experience with 'Christopher's House', a lesson from the English Teaching Resources focused on the book 'Wonder'. This lesson encourages students to read and discuss pages 8-9 of the novel as a class, while also using their 'Wonder Dictionary' sheet to jot down and learn new vocabulary. This approach not only enhances reading comprehension but also expands the students' lexicon in an engaging and contextual manner.

The lesson further includes a 'Word warm-up' activity centred around pronouns. Students are tasked with improving a sample paragraph by replacing repetitive nouns with appropriate pronouns such as 'her', 'she', 'they', and 'their', thus making the writing more fluid and less monotonous. Additionally, comprehension exercises prompt students to think critically about the text, asking them to list the pros and cons of the protagonist August going to school, identify synonyms and Americanisms, and infer character emotions and relationships from the narrative. These activities are designed to deepen students' understanding of the text while honing their analytical and writing skills.
