Novel Study: A Wrinkle in Time: Dare to Be Different

After finishing Madeleine L’Engle’s novel A Wrinkle in Time, give readers a chance to reflect on the theme of individuality vs. conformity with this creative post-reading activity. In this engaging, thought-provoking exercise, students will first review the definitions of conformity and individuality, as well as an example of each from A Wrinkle in Time. Learners will use the prompts and examples to reflect on the things that make them unique. Then students will create an individuality map with images, symbols, and words that celebrate what makes them special. Just as the character Meg embraces her individuality at the end of the story, this activity is a great way to encourage learners to acknowledge and embrace their own unique identity!
