Hank began our lesson by recalling the key events from chapters 1 and 2 of "Wonder." He pointed out that the story is being told by the main character, August. After partner reading chapters 3 and 4, we talked about how reading from August's point of view is helping us to know him. He clearly helps us feel how strong his desire to be 'ordinary' is, and lets us see things his way. As August faces the story's first big conflict, we see how he is experiencing mixed feelings himself, an internal conflict. Hank also completed a practice activity for the story element, setting.
