WONDER PROJECT- PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Good morning students ,

the purpose of this new entry is to give you  instructions about the activities and worksheets to do about the book WONDER .



The activities to develope  are divided into two different parts  .
The first part is made by 8 different worksheets , One for each part of the book . They include different kind of activities to do while you are reading each chapter . Some of the questions are really specific so it would be advisable to try to answer the questions WHILE  you are reading the chapter or when you have just finished reading it.


These 8 workwheets are the compulsory work  . This work means 10 % of your final mark . This project must be delivered before March 6 , which is the final dead line . However , I do recommend you to deliver it as soon as possible so that you will have time to study for the end of the term exams

.The second part of activities is a voluntary work  dealing with activities which have to be done throughout  the whole book , activities such as a  list of new words, list of kind activities , personal opinion and all that stuff .  This second project means 5%  extra of your final mark and its deadline is the same March 6    .


So the two projects are :

 Compulsory worksheets . Please click 1
