All of Lipscomb Academy
Middle School read Wonder by R.J. Palacio this summer. I hope
you enjoyed the book as much as I did! In the story Mr. Browne, Auggie’s
English teacher, shared precepts with his students. At the end of the school
year, he asked them to share their own precept with
him. Mr. Browne tells his students that a precept is a rule about a really
important thing. His first precept of the year is, "When given the choice between
being right or being kind, choose kind."

Please include another sentence explaining what the precept means to you. If you have trouble thinking of one, ask your mom or dad or grandparent for ideas. Do you best, and write in complete sentences! This assignment is due on Friday, August 17th.
