00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Hello everyone!

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,000
I am your English reading coach, Minhee Teacher.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Welcome back to our Wonder journey, where we are exploring Part

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Six, Auggie's Second Half.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I am so excited to guide you through the beautiful ending of

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
this amazing book today.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
For this lesson, let's put on our movie director hats.

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Imagine we are sitting in the director's chair, looking through

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
a camera lens.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
We are going to watch how Auggie's story reaches its

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
heart-warming climax, scene by scene.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Let's start with a quick bird's-eye view of our movie.

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Our camera captures three main scenes in this final part of the

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
book.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
In the first scene, the screen is dark.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
We are deep in the woods at a fifth-grade school trip.

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Suddenly, some mean older kids confront Auggie, but his

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
classmates stand up to protect him.

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
In the second scene, the camera cuts to a bright, crowded

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
auditorium.

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
It is graduation day, and Auggie is walking up to the stage

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
while everyone stands up to cheer.

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
In the final scene, the camera pans out to a quiet, sunny

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
street.

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Auggie is walking home with his dad, holding his hand, feeling

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
completely loved and happy.

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Now, let's zoom the camera in for a close-up on the most

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
important moments.

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Imagine the dark, chilly woods during the school nature retreat.

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Auggie and his friend Jack are cornered by mean seventh-graders

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000
from another school.

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Auggie is terrified.

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
His heart is beating fast.

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
But look at what happens next through our camera lens.

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Classmates who used to ignore Auggie, or even play mean jokes on

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
him, step in.

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
They form a human shield around him.

38
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
They fight back and run together to safety.

39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
In this moment, Auggie loses his hearing aids, but he gains

40
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
something much more valuable: real, true friends.

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
He realizes he is no longer alone.

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Next, let's cut to the graduation ceremony.

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Mr.

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Tushman, the principal, calls Auggie's name to give him a

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
special medal for his quiet strength.

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
As Auggie walks up, one person stands up and claps.

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Then another.

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Suddenly, the entire room is on their feet.

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
This is a standing ovation.

50
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
The camera captures the tears in Auggie's eyes and the huge

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
smile on his face.

52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
He feels like a normal kid, celebrated for exactly who he is

53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
inside.

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Why did this amazing change happen?

55
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Let's explain it simply.

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
At the start of the school year, everyone was afraid of Auggie

57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
because of his face.

58
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
But Auggie did not fight their fear with anger.

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Instead, he just kept being himself: kind, funny, and strong.

60
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
This is the cause.

61
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
The effect is that his quiet kindness slowly melted the ice

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
around everyone's hearts.

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
When the big crisis happened in the woods, his classmates

64
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
realized they cared about him.

65
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Their small, daily moments of kindness added up to a giant wave

66
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
of support at graduation.

67
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Auggie overcame his challenges, and his school overcame their

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
prejudice.

69
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
To help us talk about this movie like professional directors,

70
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
let's learn a few key words from the story.

71
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Our first phrase is nature retreat.

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
A nature retreat is a school trip to the woods and outdoors

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
where students camp and bond.

74
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
It is the perfect setting for our characters to face their

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
fears.

76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Next is bleeding scream.

77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
This is the scary Halloween mask Auggie wore earlier in the

78
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
book.

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
It hid his face, but by the end of the story, he does not need

80
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
to hide anymore.

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Our third phrase is standing ovation.

82
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
This is when everyone in an audience stands up to clap and cheer

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
loudly because they are deeply moved.

84
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Auggie definitely deserved his standing ovation!

85
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Next is an old-fashioned word, overcometh.

86
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
It simply means overcomes or defeats.

87
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
We all overcometh the world when we beat our biggest challenges.

88
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And finally, the word wonder.

89
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
A wonder is something or someone truly amazing.

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Auggie is a wonder, and so are you!

91
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Now, it is time for our shadowing practice.

92
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I want you to speak like the characters in our movie.

93
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
I will say a sentence, and I want you to repeat it right after

94
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
me with feeling.

95
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Are you ready?

96
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Let's go!

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
The woods were dark and scary.

98
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
My friends ran with me until we were safe.

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
At graduation everyone gave me a standing ovation.

100
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I felt like a normal kid for the first time.

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
We all overcometh the world.

102
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Wonderful job!

103
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
You sounded just like the characters in the movie.

104
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
To wrap up our lesson today, I want to leave you with one big

105
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
reflection question.

106
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Why do you think everyone in the world deserves a standing

107
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
ovation at least once in their life?

108
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
What would your own standing ovation moment look like?

109
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Think about this question, keep reading, and remember that

110
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
kindness always wins.

111
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Thank you for joining me today.

112
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I am Minhee Teacher, and I will see you in our next reading

113
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,000
adventure.

114
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Bye-bye!
