A mini-lesson for a 6th-grade resource room ELA class focusing on Auggie's character traits and his development throughout the first month of school in the novel 'Wonder'. This lesson uses a space-exploration theme and provides high levels of scaffolding.

Students synthesize the entire novel's events, including the final chapter and afterword, to identify themes and analyze the resolution of the plot.

Students examine the setting's impact on the plot and synthesize details from Annemarie's encounter with the soldiers in the woods.

Students analyze character growth and the impact of point of view as Annemarie takes on a dangerous mission in chapters 13 and 14.
