  • Modern literature strand 1: identity, belonging and community

Description

In this unit, pupils explore and discuss the novel, 'Wonder'. They share their opinion on the text and explore the key themes of discrimination and kindness. Finally, pupils discuss the characters in the text, as well as making personal connections and recommendations.

This unit builds on the prior unit, 'Front Desk: book club', where pupils developed a personal response to a text exploring migration. In this unit, pupils will read a text about disability, bullying and acceptance, developing their own personal responses. Pupils will make connections and recommendations, enhancing the reading experience and broadening their understanding of literature. This unit prepares pupils for the future unit, 'The Final Year', where they will explore different perspectives around themes of identity, family and self-expression, written in the form of a verse novel.
