Our Wonder Reflections by andrew schulz

Mr Schulz

1. Inspirational because it teaches people to judge others by their actions rather than the way they look.
2. My favourite part was the Julian chapter because it helps us to understand why Julian is acting like he does in the book. This chapter teaches us to be more understanding of the actions of others and to have greater empathy for their situations.
3. I'll let you think of these but the main one was kindness.
4. Summer because she accepted August right from the beginning. She always set such a wonderful example to the other students and also because she was strong particularly because she didn't give in to peer group pressure.
5. I learnt that if people make an effort to be kinder to others not only will the world be a better place but we will experience better relationships with others as well.
6. This book reminded me about when I was at school. The teachers definitely weren't as aware about bullying as they are today. I was reminded of some of the cruel things that used to happen back then. It also reminded me about times when I was 'caught in the crowd' when I was younger. It never ended very well for me.
7. A book we used to read in Year 6 called The Power of One had similar themes. The main theme in this book was 'small can defeat big' and this reminded me of the challenges that Auggie faced. In many ways they were similar to that of Peekays in POW. Both showed enormous strength and courage.
8. I give this book 10/10 as it is one of my favourite books to read to students. I love the way it has an engaging story tinged with action, drama and humor as well as such fantastic themes as kindness, strength of character, acceptance and understanding.

1. Beautiful, I chose this word because of how each character had a purpose and a meaning to August that effected the base of the story.
2. My favourite part was Mirandas Halloween party when summer had to choose between pier group pressure and this part really made Summer stand out as one of the more important peices of the puzzle.
3.overcomng disability, doing the impossible, being kind, respecting who's right, bullying, judging people by the way they look are all the themes that I found in the book.
4.Julian, He was a strange and mysterious character and was the main reason of the bullying to August but suddenly disappeared at the end of the book and he also wasn't there at the award ceremony 🤔🤔🤔.
5.I learned that you should never judge a person by not only their face but also other disabilities or deformed people and respect them for who they are.
6. Nothing I've had a pretty good life compared to August the only thing is that last year I was called names but that ended fast.
7.There's no comparison to Wonder as it is very unique and no books that I've read is as deep and as detailed as this, I rate 7/10 still could have had improvements.

3. I think that the main themes that were presented were Bullying, judging someone by their looks and kindness.
4. My favourite character was August because he stood up strong even when things are not going his way.
5. I learnt that not everyone will respect you for who you are that is just how life works.
6. This reminded me of when I had my first day of kinder I was nervous and I didn't want to go.
7. This reminded me of the Elephant Man because their faces were both deformed.
I rate the book a 10/10 because it was very entertaining.

1. Interesting, because the story went through lots of up's and downs and you just want read more and what happens to Augus
2. My favourite part in wonder is when August went to camp because he was very brave and the kids that did not like him at first stood up for him and August was growing up.
3. Bullying, friendship, kindness and bravery
4. My favourite character in the book was August Pullman because he was very brave to go into a new school and towards the end he started to grow up and stopped his parents treating him like a baby.
5. I learnt that you should not treat someone poorly just because of how they look and to try and be more kind.
6. This relates to me because I fight with my sister a lot and I think I should stop.
7. This book relates to the start of Percy Jackson where when he first joined the camp he did not fit in and no one knew why he was able to come into the camp

1. Happy and Sad because at the very start people were staying away from him and Julian kept calling him a freak, and in the end when Auggie reserved the medal at the end it made me feel so happy at the same time, and everyone were all so different to Auggie.
2. My favourite part in the book was when Auggie got the award and when they they where walking home and Auggies mum said you are a wonder Auggie, you are a wonder. And when Miranda made Via play in the play and Miranda was dragged out of the crowd.
3. I think the reason why it was a wonder was because we didn't know what Auggies face looks like and when they were walking home with what his mum said to him.
4. My favourite character in the book is Auggie because he was just living a normal life, then he the altimate sacrifice, going to school. He didnt want to go but after a few weeks he really enjoyed it.
5. I learnt that you cant fit in when your born to stand out.
6. This relates to my playing soccer but i am awful at it and people kept teasing me about playing it and they keep saying give up.
7. There is one book. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID. I chose this book because there is a wimp that tries to do things write but everything ends in desarster. I relate this to wonder because Auggie wants to try and fit in, same with Greg in DIARY OF A WIMPY KID.
I rate WONDER 10/10

5. I learnt that if you be kind to someone they will be kind back and treat someone how you want to be treated.
6. The connections I have with my life is my friends at home were a bit mean to me because they didn't think I was cool but then they realised what they were doing, so they stopped and now they're kind to me.

1: The word kindness because the whole book was really about kindness because some people were mean and kind. For example Summer was nice but Julian wasn't.

2: My favourite part in the book was the Summer part because she had plenty of opportunities to be in the cool group which is the most popular group of people in the school but she refused to be in it.

3: The themes that I think is in the book are bullying because Julian and other people. Also friendship since Summer and Jack and other people that were. The last word I think is a theme is bravery because August had a lot of downs but he still kept going to school.

4: My favourite character is Summer because she is very nice to August even though everyone told her not to. She is also a very strong person when she was told to join the cool group she didn't.

5: I learnt that even though you are different you can still be a normal person just like August was at the end of the book.

6: The connections I would make is when I was in the shopping centre because there wasa person that was different so every one looked at him.

7: I would relate this book to the book Diary of a Wimpy kid since he getting bullied.
I would rate this book 10/10 because it is my favourite book because it is very interesting.

7. This reminds me of when I saw a movie and there was this boy who got bullied because of how he looked at the world, he thought the world was going to be ok in the end and all the other boys told him the world wasn't cupcakes and rainbows and every day, he got beat up but one day he changed how all the boys saw him and he became famous

Once one of my loft friends were really mean to me no matter what I did they would insult me but once I moved away I've never seen them ever again. 7. Middle school because it's themes are bullies and Rafe from Middle School and he also has to survive bullies just like August. 8. My rating for the book is 9.5 because it's really good and it sometimes sounds like a cliff hanger every time we stop reading

1. The one word I decide to give this book is respect because Julian and a lot of the other kids didn't give the respect to August that he deserves.
2. My favourite part in Wonder was when August got the Beecher award. This was my favourite part because this is when Augustus finally got the respect he deserves.
3. The two main themes for me were kindness and bravery. The first theme was because how the book told you to be kind like Summer without actually telling you. I chose bravery because august was the most brave kid ever and didn't let anything in his way.
4. My favourite character was Summer, because like Mr. Schulz said she through her self in the deep end straight away and never ever betrayed August.
5. The main thing I learnt from Wonder is to be kind to everyone no matter what they look like. Treat people by there actions not the way they look.
6. The connections I could make with Wonder were: once in kinder I was being bullied for having big ears and I felt hopeless and small because there were kids that were bigger then me.
7. I have read no similar books.
8. I would give this book a 9.90 because sometimes the book felt like it just dragged on for the sake of it

1. My word for Wonder is kind. I chose this word because because I think this is the theme for his book. I also chose this word because at the end Mister Tushman reads a line from a book, kinder than nessasary. I think this line fits the book perfectly.
2. My favourite bit of Wonder is the bit were August is at the nature retreat & he has fun beacuse he would love that because he is always in the city & he must have had a lot of fun.
3. I think the themes were,
KIND
BULLING
HELPFULLNESS
