Powerful Precepts

I mentioned in a previous blog that my students and I are reading the novel, Wonder. Throughout the pages of this inspirational book are many precepts, or important "rules" to live by.  One of my favorites is:

"When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind."  
—Dr. Wayne Dyer

As a culminating project, students had to find a precept, illustrate it, write about what it means to them, and explain how the world would be different if everyone followed this rule.

I was quite impressed with the projects and how my kids  interpreted their precepts. Below are just some examples of the precepts they chose to write about.
