Use full sentences and write more than the minimum when answering questions and filling in charts. Explain yourself, and write about specific events in the story and in your life.
Part One – August

The Bleeding Scream
Did your opinion of Jack Will change after August overheard him talking to Julian? Explain. ___________________________________________________________________
In this chapter, August provides a few details about Beulah, an imaginary girl with really gross habits who Jack and August invented to tease Julian with.

Appendix
Please choose one of Mr. Browne’s precepts from the appendix, and explain how it relates to the story. You can’t choose one of the precepts already explored in this package, nor can you use the precept from the example below.
Example: Your deeds are your monuments.
R.J. Palacio’s Wonder shows that “your deeds are your monuments.” When August Pullman first arrives at Beecher Prep, all anyone notices about him is his face. They can’t see past it. But over the course of the year August’s actions define him as a person, and the other students start to see him for who he truly is, not just what he looks like.
