wonder in schools

Facing History and Ourselves

Facing History and Ourselves is an organization that works to instill intellectual vigor and curiosity in the world’s secondary school students, by providing ideas and tools that support the needs of teachers. Independent, critical thinking is at the heart of a free society, and adolescence is the time to develop those skills. Now, in partnership with myface.org, Facing History has created a curriculum for Wonder that explores topics such as inclusion and exclusion, difference, and multiple points of view:

Mr. W’s Annotated Wonder

One of R.J.P.'s personal favorite teacher-created resources was written by Mr. W on his wonderful website, mrwreads.blogspot.com. Mr. W went to the time and trouble of creating a visual resource companion guide—basically an annotated Wonder—to use while reading Wonder aloud to his classes. It's an amazing reference source, and I highly recommend it (and thank him for sharing it with the world).
