This term in reading we are diving into a novel study for the book “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio. This week we are trying to understand the characteristics and personalities of key characters in the story. We also practiced summarisation skills by extracting relevant details from the text.
We had to read Part One Chapters 8-10 which was about Mr. Tushman into a small room across from Mrs. Garcia’s desk. He was talking as he closed the door to his office and sat down behind his big desk, though August wasn’t really paying much attention to what he was saying. August was looking around at all the things on his desk. Cool stuff, like a globe that floated in the air and a Rubik’s-type cube made with little mirrors.
Next, we used what we had read to answer our slides about the key characters.
I enjoyed reading the book. I need to improve on writing more details. I did well at blogging.
