https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399559183/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

In R. J. Palacio’s Wonder, readers were introduced to memorable English teacher Mr. Browne and his love of precepts. Simply put, precepts are principles to live by, and Mr. Browne’s selections celebrate kindness, hopefulness, the goodness of human beings, the strength of people’s hearts, and the power of people’s wills. Look inside this guide for suggestions on using precepts in your classroom. Our hope is that these ideas will not only touch the lives of the students, but people throughout their school, community, and beyond.
