We finished it on Friday and I hope to incorporate many of your ideas this week with my class as a follow up. We had SO many rich discussions each day as we read and the kids are already clamouring for a bus trip to the movie theatre when it opens. There are a few times in my life where we had unforgettable read alouds...once was when Harry Potter was first published, and another was reading The Hobbit aloud...amazing memories.

Once they have left their comments, they choose the top 3 comments left for them on their sheet. They read them to the class and everyone gives them a standing ovation. Then we celebrate Auggie's birthday with a cake.

Your bulletin board is adorable and I love how you connect your read aloud with answering readers response questions.

I have done a Wonder Unit for the past three years, and am always looking for more meaningful activities to incorporate. I like the idea of using a reading response notebook, something I have not done. You bring up a good point – bored learners are not engaged learners, so I will probably begin using a reading response notebook two times a week. <br />Wonder is the perfect book to integrate social skills, habits of mind and character traits lessons. While I have included lessons on bullying, I have never come across an illustration as powerful as the crumpled paper – thank you so much for sharing! I like the way you related it to the book by having students call the paper names while crumpling it, so that they felt responsible for destroying the paper. This forces them to think about what Auggie might feel.<br />I am going to steal your other forms of reading responses, as well! Students love writing on the white board, and it would be nice to display everyone’s responses so that all students can read and internalize them for a few days. Students also love writing on sticky notes, which would help keep them engaged. Your summative projects are AMAZING! I love how you walked them through the drawing process, step-by-step, and that you drew it on the board at the same time – this would especially be helpful for my ELLs. Your reader response question definitely encourages critical, higher-level thinking. Knowing your experience with it, and knowing how much my students were invested in this book, I know they would do an incredible job with this project. Your bulletin board looks phenomenal – what a truly great message.<br />For my unit I do a lot of graphic organizers, with focuses on inferencing, word meaning, character development and perspective, conflict & solution, theme and symbolism. I did a similar activity to yours with my students at the end of the book. Instead of drawing the outline of Auggie’s face, they drew the outline of their own faces in a similar way. I had them each come up with their own precept and write it by their face. Then they created a postcard addressed to Mr. Browne from their “summer vacation.” They wrote about their precept and what it meant to them. I posted their postcards next to their faces in the hallway outside our classroom. For their final project I let my students choose how they wanted to showcase their learning, and they were so creative!<br />I have just a few of questions for you. Do you have your students read on their own at all, or is it strictly read aloud? I am working on getting a class set of books for next year and am hoping to incorporate some independent and partner reading. Have you done any partner or group work within your unit? If so, I would love to hear how you scaffold, structure, and assign roles. I am also attempting to integrate more technology into my classroom and am looking for how to go about that within my Wonder unit. Have you used technology with Wonder, or any other books? And if so, how? Lastly, are you familiar with the Universal Design for Learning? I am wondering how you differentiate and plan for potential barriers? <br />Thank you for your time, and for continuing to share your wonderful classroom and teaching practices with the rest of us teachers!<br />Sarah Paganohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598030913048498462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202102119215739734.post-28624821005493602932016-02-18T21:14:03.692-05:002016-02-18T21:14:03.692-05:00I love your cumulating activity!!
