Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Get ready to dive into the world of Wonder by R.J. Palacio in this interactive and exciting class! This class isn’t just about reading—it’s about understanding what makes the story truly special, and learning how kindness, hope, and perseverance shine through each page.


Each week, we’ll read 12 bite-sized chapters (only 1-3 pages each) at home and meet once a week to explore the story together. Every session is packed with exciting discussions, group activities, and hands-on writing projects! You’ll join other readers to:
* Unravel what motivates the characters
* Spot conflicts and discover how they get resolved
* Track the plot as it twists and turns
* Explore hidden themes and symbols that make Wonder unforgettable


In addition to discussing the book, we’ll dive into the art of writing! You’ll create essays and reports on powerful themes like:
* Kindness and how small actions can change lives
* Hope and how it keeps us going
* Perseverance through challenges
* How to Review Literature like a pro

Want to share your writing with the class? Fantastic! If not, no pressure—you can always get thoughtful feedback from your teacher and peers privately. We’ll walk through drafts, revise together, and celebrate everyone’s final projects.


We are so excited to bring you this course!
