Hi, it's Mrs. Rohrbacker now! I would like to introduce our Wonder point of view trailers. We worked really hard on these! Wonder is a book about August, a boy with facial deformities who goes to school for the first time. In our class, we broke into 9 groups and each group made a trailer about the book from a particular character's point of view. Here they are!

Via's point of view - Via is August's older sister.

Miranda's point of view - Miranda is Via's best friend, and has known August since he was a baby. 

August's point of view - August is the main character in Wonder.

Summer's point of view - Summer is a girl who immediately befriends August when he goes to school. 

Jack's point of view - Jack is one of August's good friends at school. 

Mr. Tushman's point of view - Mr. Tushman is the principal at Beecher Prep, August's middle school. 

Justin's point of view - Justin is Via's boyfriend.

Julian's point of view - Julian is the boy who bullies August but later realizes he has made a mistake. 

Mrs. Albans point of view - Mrs. Albans is Julian's mother. She is against August being at Beecher Prep. 

I hope you enjoyed our trailers!

  1. Wow! Those cell projects look like they were so much fun! I wouldn't have been able to make plant cells because I would have eaten all the cell walls! I love licorice!!

    1. Dear Mrs. Werner,

      Thank you for your comment. It's fantastic that you like licorice, because we like it too! We couldn't resist eating them either, but we had to draw a picture before we could eat them. It was torture!

      Sincerely,
      Mrs. Rohrbacker's Class

  2. Amazing work, 5th graders! We just finished the book, "When You Reach Me" this week and will be working on book trailers from character's point of view as well. Can we use these for our mentor texts?

    Keep up the great work, smarties. I'm impressed.
    Love,
    Mrs. Luhrsen

    1. Dear Mrs. Luhrsen,

      Thank you for your compliment! Of course you can use our book trailers. We would love to see your book trailers when you're done with them.

      p.s. Your enrichment students want to know if you watched "Lizards and Dragons" last night at 7:00.
