Students will work in groups of 3-4. Each group member will select a different theme from the novel "Wonder". Then, they will choose a way to present each theme by creating a presentation (Google Slides/Voicethread), newscast (iMovie/Pixorial), etc. Students will describe the theme, cite at least 3 pieces of evidence to support the chosen theme, and then explain how the theme can be related to our lives. They should also create a graphic to go along with the theme on Google Drawings and include it in the chosen presentation.
