Wonder - Literature Kit Gr. 5-6
In this State Standards-aligned Literature Kit(TM), we divide the novel by chapters and feature reading comprehension and vocabulary questions. In every chapter, we include Before You Read and After You Read questions. The Before You Read activities prepare students for reading by setting a purpose for reading. They stimulate background knowledge and experience, and guide students to make connections between what they know and what they will learn. The After You Read activities check students' comprehension and extend their learning. Students are asked to give thoughtful consideration of the text through creative and evaluative short-answer questions and journal prompts. Also included are writing tasks, graphic organizers, comprehension quiz, test prep, word search, and crossword to further develop students' critical thinking and writing skills, and analysis of the text. About the Novel: Wonder is the heart-warming tale of a young boy's struggle and acceptance through middle school. August Pullman is not like every other kid. He was born with a rare facial deformity. Because of this and his constant trips to the hospital, Auggie was always homeschooled. That's about to change as he enters middle school for the first time. Things start off rocky as the other kids stare at him, avoid touching him, and even bully him. But Auggie perseveres and manages to make some friends. What's more, he actually really enjoys going to school. Slowly, Auggie manages to tear down the walls at his school and becomes just one of the kids. By the end, he has not only survived middle school, but overcome it. Wonder is a story of one boy's identity and showing how normal he truly is. All of our content is aligned to your State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.

And Alexis realizes being the leader is kind of cool; as long as you know how to ask for help when you need it!\"--Information from publisher.

IN DEFENSE OF FICTION
When the CCSS authors opine that in order to achieve college and career readiness, students need to focus on facts, they bypass a wealth of research about child development, reading development, and the influence of fiction on both. Without a textbook in sight, students described insights they gleaned about life in the Jim Crow South, Greek and Roman mythology, autism, climate change, the firebombing of Dresden, cloning, world religions, the conditions of slavery, censorship, the Vietnam conflict, steroid abuse among athletes, the Holocaust, survival in the wild, artificial intelligence, World War I battlefields, the sinking of the Titanic, the attacks of 9/11, the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the French Revolution. Crichton thought they were more like birds but still leathery. Because of his novel's inspiration, I looked up modern paleontology and learned that we know now that dinosaurs were mostly covered with feathers, fluff, and quills.
