Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
"Wringer" is a powerful story about a boy learning how to stand up for what he believes in, all while experiencing challenges along the way. This is the story of a 9-year-old boy growing up in a city that has a disturbing rite of passage for boys after they turn 10. As a read-aloud, the book helps facilitate dialogue about peer pressure, gender roles, kindness, and being a sensitive boy, among other themes. 

In this class, the experienced facilitator will read the story aloud and pause at significant junctures to engage the students in reflective conversation. The students are encouraged to find a comfy place at home to engage in this class, with pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, and anything else that provides them a sense of comfort and warmth.

A NOTE ABOUT THE COST OF THIS CLASS:

I know the price of my classes is higher than many others on Outschool. As an experienced and talented educator, I believe I'm worth this amount and invite you to look at my reviews. That said, I don't want any family to be priced out of what I offer. Whatever your financial situation, if you're interested in one or more of my classes, please reach out and let me know what you can afford. I can provide coupons, refunds, and/or reductions, and am confident we can find an equitable rate that works for you and me.

Learning Goals

Students will learn about peer pressure and its influences, and learn how to apply the situations in the story to their lives. They will learn how literature can inspire them to better understand themselves and others. They will learn that an English class can be fun and engaging. They will learn that their feelings are okay.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
The story deals with the killing of pigeons so it could be disturbing, which is part of the author's intent.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
