READING ASSIGNMENT - B2.2

Dear students,

I hope you enjoyed your Easter break! Mine was very good, I was able to refresh and recharge before heading into the end-of-the-year sprint.

I hope you also had a little time to enjoy your reading of Wonder. I wanted to remind you that we will be having a class discussion session on the 24th/25th. I'm looking forward to sharing our ideas about the book! I hope you found it as thought-provoking and inspiring as I did.

I'm posting the handouts we will be using for the class discussion. They contain some of the topics we will discuss. You will work in small groups and try to describe some of the most relevant characters (click here to download the handout) and their role in the story. Then we will use the questions in the handouts (click here to download the handout) as a springboard for discussing the most important themes of the book.

I'm sure we will learn a lot from each other's ideas and reflections.

See you in class!
