Palacio en-us 2019-08-07 01:06:35 UTC 2019-08-15 03:47:26 UTC hello@padlet.com 2048880 https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373498996 What I was wondering during the book is like how many other people have facial deformations like him. I believe its probably not a super high number. What I read does make sense because the author used great wording. The questions im asking myself as I read the book are, will he ever get a surgery that can actually make his face look a lot better? The weird question I kept wondering is, what camp did Miranda go to? ]]> 2019-08-07 01:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373498996 2048880 https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373500994 In what ways are you making connections to what you are reading? The ways I am making connections to the reading is by thinking about how when I was in fifth grade I had a high school sibling and how I was August's age at one point.

What conclusions are you drawing about the events in the book? Well I drew the conclusion from the beginning of the book that August was not very popular with people and that he would be bullied later on. Which ended up being true. I also kind of thought that Via would be kinda the popular but also not super popular normal girl. Which was mostly correct later in the book.

Which passages create the best pictures in your mind’s eye? The passages that create the best images in my mind are of course beginning when the author describes August to the reader. As well as the beginning of all the other parts like, Part 2 Via. Then the end, the whole end of the book with the bigger kids and what not.

The main events in the story are when August says why he doesn't want to go to school, when August hears his mom talking about how she might send him to a public school, when August meets Mr. Tushman, when Summer sits next to August and he meets her, and when August graduates 5th grade and is given an award at the school awards. So the gist of the story is that August is a young boy with facial deformities and he is going to his first day of public school. He has a sister and his parents. He meets friends and gets bullied throughout the story. Overall though August has a good first year of school and goes on a school trip. Then finally, at the end of the book August is given the gravery award by the school.]]> 2019-08-07 01:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373503513 2048880 https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373505822 The main character, August changes by getting happier and more excited about school. Because at the beginning August is mad and doesn't want to or like going to school. But he slowly starts to change his thoughts about school and by the end he's looking forward to his next year of school.]]> 2019-08-07 02:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373505822 2048880 https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373506378 So the theme of the book wonder is really to be kind to everyone no matter what they look like or act like or are like or..like. So yeah just not being mean and choosing to be "kind."]]> 2019-08-07 02:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373506378 2048880 https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373506837 August is a young boy going into 5th grade who has never been to real school because of his face deformities. August started his first day at his new school and received many stares from the other kids but, he is used to the stares because its been happening his whole life. On Halloween August goes to school with a costume along with everyone else and he hears a kid talk about him badly, later finding out that it was Jack Will. Jack then gets very angry at Julian because Julian called August a rude name, then Jack later explained to August over email that he was sorry about what he said and August forgave him. Now they are good friends again. August stuck through the rest of the year with Jack and Summer as his best friends, and August is given an award for being brave at his fifth grade graduation.]]> 2019-08-07 02:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373506837 2048880 https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373509799 The author has kind of a slow-ish style of writing and also likes to write from multiple characters throughout the entire book.]]> 2019-08-07 02:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373509799 2048880 https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373510191 I think that the book was great, it was well written and captured August's view very well. One thing that really surprised me out of nowhere was what Jack Will said about August on page 123. I do think the book is fine for younger kids as well.]]> 2019-08-07 02:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/2048880/mj6ofamvt5mt/wish/373510191
