Read this article after part one, “August,” to begin a conversation about the way people treat others who they see as different from themselves. Have students discuss the different ways Auggie is treated by Jack, Julian, Summer, and other classmates. Then, have students discuss the results of Tiffany Sun’s experiment in “A Teen and a Trolley Reveal Society’s Dark Side.” Have students make connections between Auggie’s experience and Sun’s observations. Ask, “How is Auggie treated differently by Jack, Julian, and Summer? How are the results of Sun’s experiment in the article similar to what Auggie observes about the way his classmates treat him?” Students may draw on themes of prejudice, acceptance, and kindness.
