Wonder Lesson 11: The Deal and Home - Comprehension Worksheet 3

In this comprehension worksheet, students delve into the chapters titled "The Deal and Home" from the book, examining the protagonist August's feelings about attending school after a tour. The worksheet prompts students to reflect on whether they would share August's desire to go to school if they were in his shoes, encouraging them to support their perspective with evidence from the text. This exercise not only assesses their understanding of the narrative but also their ability to empathize with the character's emotions and decisions.

The worksheet further tests comprehension through a series of questions. It asks who the pronouns 'we' and 'us' refer to in the context of the first paragraph on page 31, ensuring that students can identify narrative perspectives. Another question probes the meaning of the phrase 'lost track of time', prompting students to demonstrate their understanding by rephrasing it. The worksheet also requires students to analyze Mr Tushman's opinion of Via’s school, Faulkner High, drawing on textual evidence for their description. Additionally, students must evaluate the character of Julian, who wasn't entirely nice to August during the tour, by choosing an appropriate adjective from a provided list and justifying their choice with examples from the story. This not only checks their comprehension but also their critical thinking and ability to infer character traits from actions and dialogue.
