Wonder By R.J. Palacio
Auggie, his friends, and family did a great job chronicling his trials and tribulations throughout his first year at Beecher Prep. Now, it’s your turn to
summarize the book by creating a yearbook for Beecher Prep. Follow the directions below to be sure you include all the elements of the yearbook.

Cover Page Create a cover page for the
Beecher Prep yearbook. Consider adding important
characters, quotes from the book, words that describe the school, etc. Make it unique to YOUR vision of Beecher Prep!
The Inside On the inside of your yearbook,
create, at minimum, FOUR sections that describe main events that
occurred during the year. Include drawings and a short summary that show you understand what happened. You can choose whether you want this to be personal to Auggie or for
the entire school.
Back Cover On the back cover, write notes from at least FOUR characters in the book that might have signed Auggie’s yearbook. Be sure to include important
events from the story in your notes.
Insert On a separate page, write yearbook notes to TWO
characters in the book from Auggie’s perspective. Pretend
that you are Auggie writing notes in someone else’s yearbook.
Include important events from the story in your notes!
