Same Same, but Different.

Hi class, sorry I couldn’t be with you today. My eye is still hurting from being scratched … yes my eyeball is scratched and that is kind of gross, but it is the truth! I will rest up and get better soon!

The video I want you to watch is about a story that talks about diversity (die-ver-si-tee). This word means that there are differences and that it is okay to be different. Diversity can come from the different places we were born, where our families immigrated from, what our food preferences are, what we choose to wear, and so on. Please watch the video and think about this: Even though we are all different, is this a bad thing?

When you are done watching this post, please read the following question carefully! And please answer with a short paragraph (about 5-10 complete sentences or about 10 minutes of thinking and writing). 

Assignment Question:

There are so many ways that Auggie and Via are different, but there are also several ways that they are alike. Name some things that they have in common and some things that makes them different. Is it bad to be different? Please explain your interpretation of diversity in the context of Auggie and Via.

    same same but different tells how even though we are different we like and do same things. But in a different way. So even if you are different it dosent matter. Because nobody is the same we are all unique.

    August and via are alike because they both get loved by their mom and dad though August gets loved way more than Via.Via and August are the same but different because August went through lots of surgery and Via is now going through friendship problems with Ella and Miranda.August and Via are alike because they both have lots of friends by now.The two siblings are alike because they both have their troubles.It is not bad to be different because then other kids/people will see it’s good to be different in different ways and then kids/people will start to treat you the same as other kids/people.
