Wonder Lesson 1: Investigating the Text - Worksheet

The "Investigating the Text" worksheet is a thought-provoking resource aimed at engaging students with the front cover of a book, encouraging them to delve into the significance of its design and to reflect on their personal interpretations. The worksheet prompts learners to consider the reasons behind the author's choice of cover design and to articulate their own opinions on the matter. This exercise not only stimulates critical thinking but also allows for a discussion on the impact of visual elements in storytelling.

Additionally, the worksheet invites students to contemplate a prominent quote from the cover: "You can’t blend in when you were born to stand out." This statement is a catalyst for discussion, prompting pupils to decode its meaning and rephrase it in their own words. This activity serves to deepen their understanding of the themes and messages that the book may explore and provides an opportunity for learners to connect with the text on a personal level before they even turn the first page.
