PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS
10/09 Wonder
Culminating Project Due: Wednesday, Oct. 11
In
the book Wonder, Mr. Brown shares a
monthly precept with his students. These precepts (or as Mr. Brown would say,
“Rules about really important things.”) are basically rules of life. They help you with real world situations. They're advice that you can use for almost
everything you do in life.
Please
look in the Appendix on page 311 in your Wonder
book and choose a precept.
For
the precept you chose, please complete the following:
1 - In your B Journal, answer this question: Why did you choose this precept and what does
it mean to you? We expect two well written paragraphs.
- Create a poster form of your precept. Use a ½ poster
board size. Your poster should include color, various font designs, and a
creative expression of the precept.
This
project is an assessment and will be worth 4 points.
1. Read part 8 of Wonder.
2. Continue to complete Figurative Language Chart for examples found in Part 8 of the text.

Instructions: Read Parts 2 & 3 of Wonder by Monday, Sept. 11th. While reading, in your Book Journal, respond to the questions below AND complete your Allusions Bookmark assignment.
1. What do we learn about Auggie through Via’s eyes (her point of view) that we didn’t learn from Auggie?
2. Compare and contrast Auggie’s first day of school (as detailed in Part 1) to Via’s first day of school.

because of his condition, deals with challenges on a daily basis.
However, some may not realize how much his family is impacted as well.
Think about the members of Auggie’s

the challenges his family members face because of his unique condition.
