Wait for the teacher to put you into groups. You are then to scroll to the section assigned to your group. In your group, discuss and decide your response to the questions in the section.

Your answer MUST use the full PEAL format. (Point - Evidence - Elaboration - Link).

E.g. "Via is a protective person. The text states that when kids "made some noised" towards Auggie "at the playground", Via "started yelling at them". This shows that Via knew those mean remarks would hurt Auggie's feelings and she wanted to protect him from getting hurt. Thus, she is a protective person who cares about her brother.

"He was like, 'So, August, what's the deal with your face?' " I said, looking at Daisy the whole time. " 'Were you in a fire or something?'

"Mom didn't say anything. When I looked up at her, I could tell she was completely shocked.

"He didn't say it in a mean way," I said quickly. "He was just asking."

Mom nodded.

"But I really liked Jack," I said. "He was like, 'Shut up, Julian!' And Charlotte was like, 'You're so rude, Julian!'"

Mom nodded again. She pressed her fingers on her forehead like she was pushing against a headache.

"I'm so sorry, Auggie," she said quietly. Her cheeks were bright red.

"No, it's okay, Mom, really."

"You don't have to go to school if you don't want, sweetie."

"I want to," I said.

"The thing is, because of the way my face is, people who don't know me very well don't always get that I'm smiling. My mouth doesn't go up at the corners the way other people's mouths do. It just goes straight across my face. But somehow Jack Will got that I had smiled at him. And he smiled back."

Julian's a jerk," he whispered before Julian and Charlotte reached us. "But, dude, you're gonna have to talk." He said this seriously, like he was trying to help me."

What's the deal with your face? I mean, were you in a fire or something?"

"Julian, that's so rude!" said Charlotte.

"I'm not being rude," said Julian, "I'm just asking a question. Mr. Tushman said we could ask questions if we wanted to."

"'I'm taking the science elective,' I said.

"Cool!" said Charlotte.

Julian looked directly at me. 'The science elective is supposably the hardest elective of all," he said. "No offense, but if you've never, ever been in a school before, why do you
think you're suddenly going to be smart enough to take the science elective? I mean, have you ever even studied science before? Like real science, not like the kind you do
in kits?"'

"'Nothing much to see,' Julian said, walking in after me. He started pointing to a bunch of stuff around the room. "That's the incubator. That big black thing is the chalkboard. These are the desks. These are chairs. Those are the Bunsen burners. This is a gross science poster. This is chalk. This is the eraser."

I think that Charlotte is very talkative and overshares about her life as she was talking about her performance in 'Oliver!' a lot. Also she was very defensive of Auggie and seems to care for him.

# data[].attributes.body
a) In the first few paragraphs of the "Lunch" chapter, many people from Auggie's school in the canteen did not came forward to sit with him during recces. People like Julian commented that when Auggie eats or chew his food, he chew like a tortoise. However, Summer came forward to eat with Auggie in a table. She also named the table as the Summer table and only Summer related names' people can only eat on the table like August.

a) Mr Tushman is a cheerful person. He said “Well, I was kind of kidding”, “do you know who Mr. T is, I pity the fool” and he also said “a name like mine is not easy to live with”. This suggests that he was trying to make August’s laugh and cheer him up although it didn’t really work. Thus, we can conclude that he is a cheerful person.
b) When Auggie hears the other
kids outside, he says "my heart
literally started beating like I'd just
run the longest race in the world." This is a metaphor that suggests that Auggie was very nervous and scared to meet other kids outside and he knows that the other kids will find him different.
“The laughter I had inside just
poured out of me." This is a metaphor that suggests that Auggie was no longer cheerful.

# data[].attributes.body
b) a precept is anything that helps guide us when making decisions about really important things.

c) we think that this precept is important. on the day that the school was celebrating halloween, auggie heard jack talking bad about him with julian and a few of their other classmates. in the eyes of every other student, this was the “right” thing to do and they did not see any wrong in doing that. on the other hand, this unkind act has upset auggie. after halloween, jack has realised his mistakes and wanted to apologise to auggie. however, before he could do so, julian was talking behind auggie’s back again which made him upset. he was unable to control his anger and punched julian. in the other students’ eyes, what jack did was wrong. while auggie thought that this was the “right” and kind thing to do as jack was just trying to protect him.

in the above, none of these actions/words done/said was the right thing to do. however it was kind actions done as jack was just trying to protect auggie but chose the wrong way to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
I think jack is a person who is trying to satisfy everyone. By agreeing with julian and joining in, I think he is trying to keep his relationship with him as they have been friends for more than a year. But auggie overheard and felt sad. But he also tried to apologise. So he learnt and decided not to be Julian’s friend. I think he is a nice person

# data[].attributes.body
a) Auggie knows Jack realise he is
smiling as Jack smiled back at him.

This suggest that Jack pays close
attention to Aggie's expressions
and care about him a lot. He knew
Auggie was smiling even though it
was difficult to spot. He was able to adapt to his expressions very quickly even when Auggie’s face shifts a little bit.

b)Jack whispered to Auggie as he
did not want Charlotte and Julian
to hear him

He whispered to Auggie about
Julian being a jerk and hence why
he did not want Julian and
Charlotte hear him talk bad things
about him. If they heard Jack they would get into a fight

c) Jack wanted Auggie to talk so he
can understand him more and help
him with his situation. He also wanted auggie to feel more comfortable and socialise with people around the school so he would not feel lonely and have friends. This also helps students around the school get used to his face.

# data[].attributes.body
a)
Auggie says Julian was not being mean, just “asking” because his mother was shock to hear what Julian had said about his face and Auggie does not want to make his mother more worried for him, preventing him to go to school.

b)
Auggie still wants to go to school because seeing there are people like Jack who are really normal to him and want to help him, he feels encouraged to go to school.

# data[].attributes.body
a) auggie’s mother knew that she could not teach him what school could teach him. Auggie’s mother was bad at math hence she was not able to teach auggie the subject. Auggie’s mother knew that they could not be protecting auggie all the time and he has to live his own life facing reality. Fifth grade would be the first year of middle school hence he would not be the only new kid. Therefore, Auggie’s mother wanted him to go to school.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that Julian had no empathy at that time.

This can be shown by the fact that he asked rude questions without caring about Auggust’s feelings and emotions. He began in a unmannered way. Questions such as “What’s the deal with your face?” Shows that he was not polite and did not carer how Auggust might have felt when he asked the question. Thus, this shows that he was not empathetic to Auggust.

# data[].attributes.body
After hearing Julian being rude, he told him to “shut up”. He also tried to distract Auggust away from Julian by bringing him to the school library. This shows that Jack is a considerate person that cares for Auggust.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel Charlotte and Jack were very helpful, as they defended Auggust when he was verbally bullied by Julian. If I were Charlotte or Jack, I would have done the same thing to and I will also tell Julian to be considerate about other people’s feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Charlotte did not look at Auggie much because she was not used to people looking like him and was curious. However, she was no very intrusive like Julian was.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I like her as a character because she is a caring person and is empathetic towards others as she demonstrates with Auggie.
However, she is very talkative which is not a very good trait about her as one should not overshare as people could get annoyed, but because of this, new students like Auggie can know more about the past of this school.
Charlotte does not use her talkativeness to belittle students

# data[].attributes.body
This tells us that Jack does not want Auggie to feel bad and wants him to be welcomed.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jack is a nice person as he is thinking of Auggie which shows he is selfless and he defends Auggie when Jullian laughs at him so that Auggie would not be embarrassed and feel uncomfortable. He tries Auggie comfortable with him by doing so.

a) "like sending a lamb to the slaughter" is a simile and it shows that the father thinks August is a clueless and calm "sheep" unaware about the discrimination and reactions that he may encounter in school.

b) This tells us that Julian wants attention from his classmates for his wide knowledge about Star Wars and wants to boast to August that Julian himself knows Star Wars better than almost anyone else.

c) Julian asked about August's views on Darth Sidous because Darth Sidous' face is totally deformed(melted face and shriveled skin), just like August. He was curious if August is empathetic to those having the same facial condition as him.

# data[].attributes.body
a ) The impression of Julian from this interaction is that he is an insensitive person who does not care about Auggie’s feelings and treats him badly just because he looks different from other kids and have been homeschool for the most of his life. Julian even said , “ Have you even studied science before ? Like the real science , not like the kind you do on kids “ . This makes him sound harsh and really rude as it shows that he is underestimating Auggie ‘s intelligence . Even if he had said that it more kindly and genuinely they might not have had to grow a disliking agains each other . But this conversation only shows that Julian gives more importance to people’s appearances and does not bother to be friends with Auggie and get to know the friendliness in him.

b) The first moment is when Julian says ‘ what’s the deal with your face, were you in a fire? “ to Auggie. The second moment is when Auggie tried to correct Julian but Julian just ignored his comment. This shows that Julian dislikes Auggie because of how he looks like  and judges him.

# data[].attributes.body
(A) Julian us a conceited/arrogant person. (Point)
Julian keeps looking down on Auggie. He often asked questions that made Auggie feel like an outsider, he asked if he knew what was an eraser and gave a smirk when Auggie asked what a Homeroom was.

# data[].attributes.body
Part B;
Our group thinks that Julian often finds himself in arguments with others as he often rudely go against their opinion. Julian feels more superior than his schoolmates and hence looking down on them often as their opinions differ from his.

Part C:
The part where Julian replied to Charlotte with “Not what I heard….but whatever.” After she corrected him with her own understanding/opinion/judgment of the teacher. Julian thinks that his opinion is more valid than Charlotte hence putting her down with that comment. Although he said whatever at the end, it seems to us that he is still going to persist on his idea but doesn’t want to seem to forcing in front of Auggie.

# data[].attributes.body
b) auggies mother was scared for auggie to go to school as she thinks of him as extraordinary and thought others would think that too. she was afraid that he will not be able to make new friends as he was homeschooled all his life. She knew auggie would stand out in the crowd hence she was scared that it would be hard for him to blend in.

# data[].attributes.body
c) Auggie felt angry at Isabel because he didn’t want to be there. Since Mr Tuchman was telling Isabel and Auggie about the music room and how Breecher Prep had a wide selection of percussion instruments, Isabel brought up how Auggie had been wanting to learn the drums. When she asked a rhetorical question about it Auggie just kept staring at the piece of gum that was under Mr tushmans  table.  Also when Isabel was checking with Auggie to make sure That 30 minutes was enough time to explore the school, he only responded by looking at her just so she could see how mad he was.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of Julian is that he is very rude
Julian was trying to mock Auggie because if his facial disorder.
Julian thinks that Auggie is not capable of knowing what is an eraser.

# data[].attributes.body
B)
The way he eats. Auggie eats like a
tortoise, like a prehistoric swamp
thing. This is due to his disorder,
thus it affects his eating style as
well as other things. This would
cause him to be the laughing stock
and centre of attention
everywhere he goes.I feel bad for
Auggie, Society really can be very
rude sometimes. Thus, Auggie
feels this way.

# data[].attributes.body
Charlotte views Auggie as a friend and she is really warm-hearted as she defended him from Julian when he mocked Auggie for not knowing what an eraser is like the way Via would defend Auggie from other bullies at the playground.Charlotte stands up to Julian for Auggie instead of being scared of him.
