Wonder

(For First Years Only)

Students will write a small essay (50-100 words), typed. This essay will discuss August in relation to his community, using one citation and the page number next to the citation.

Here are the pages from Wonder (Penguin Readers, A2)

Here’s an example:

In the beginning, August’s community is only his family. August begins school and doesn’t know who is part of his community. His community becomes bigger when he makes friends with Summer because Summer likes to include other people (pg20); “But if someone has a winter name and wants to be at the summer table, that’s ok.” The game that starts with excluding people-only Summer name people could sit with them- becomes a game that includes people-everyone can sit with them.
