Wonder Lesson 3: Ordinary - Comprehension Worksheet 3

The "Ordinary" comprehension worksheet is a teaching resource designed to help students engage in critical thinking and deepen their understanding of the text. It poses a series of questions that encourage students to consider the feelings of the character August and to analyze the author's use of language. One of the questions asks students to reflect on how they might feel if they were in August's position, fostering empathy and personal connection to the character's experiences.

The worksheet challenges students to think about the purpose behind the author's choice of specific words and sentence structures, such as the inclusion of the short sentence 'Inside.' and the use of the word 'pretty' in the context of the third paragraph. Students are also prompted to select a word that best describes August's feelings about himself from a list that includes 'ashamed', 'accepting', 'proud', and 'disgusted', and to explain their choice. Additionally, the worksheet asks for a one-word description of the character Via, accompanied by an explanation, which aids in developing character analysis skills. This resource is designed to promote comprehension and literary analysis in an educational setting.
