Today’s Excerpt:

Have you ever stood up for someone being bullied? Has anyone ever stood up for you?

To see an example of a subtle form of bullying, watch “Two Things About Yourself,” a scene from the movie Wonder. This scene shows the first day of class, where students are asked to say two things about themselves. One of the kids, Auggie, has a medical condition that causes him to look different than most other kids. As a result, he is nervous and shy.

Discuss: 

• What is one way to stand up for Auggie in this situation?
