(Image from: Amazon.com)Based on our amazing read aloud book Wonder, we are going to channel Auggie's teacher Mr. Browne. We are going to create our own personal precept for the year. Mr. Browne defines a precept as "rules about really important things." You can think of them as your words to live by, just like our 'Thought of the Day' everyday in class. Using the research tool in Google Docs, we are each going to pick one precept that best represents us, our words to live by for the year. I want your precept to be something that inspires you to be better this year, and hopefully other students' precepts will inspire you as well. After you have chosen your precept, you will write a paragraph (just like Auggie had to do) explaining what your precept means to you. Your paragraph needs to be correctly formatted (indent, introductions, details, conclusion) and you need to check your writing before you post (aka edit your writing). Make sure to type this in your 'blogging doc' first so you don't lose your work before you are ready to post it.
I want this to be thoughtful, I want this to show me who you are, and I want this to show me what is important to you. Channel Auggie and what he wrote about, thought about, I can't wait to read your precepts!
