In groups of 2-3, pretend you're kids from the novel, and you're secretly passing notes to each other during Mr. Browne's English class. (Choose one of your notebooks to write in, but write all your names on that entry.)
Be sure and make it clear which characters you're pretending to be!

Instead of learning a new song, you shall be the brilliant lyric-writers. It can be as stupid or as serious as you want.
Instead of learning a new song, you shall be the brilliant lyric-writers. It can be as stupid or as serious as you want.
Step 1: Pick a theme related to the novel Wonder (friendship, being alone, defending the weak, standing up for yourself, etc.).
Step 2: Open to your lyrics section and create a catchy title.
Step 3: Decide which genre you want your song to be (folk, indie, opera, country, pop, rap, metal, reggae, EDM, gospel, Asian underground...) and write that next to your title.
Step 4: Start writing! It'll look like a poem, perhaps. Doesn't have to rhyme unless you want it to.
Step 5: Sing to your friends / Ms. Carlson / all your teachers / Mr. Kearns / the world!
