I do not use this website to recommend movies however I have just seen a movie which I highly recommend Wonder. It is based on a book with the same title. The film should be seen by every teacher and student. You might want to show it on the first day of school. I think it can generate discussions at the elementary, middle and high school level.
The film deals with a boy born with a deformed face and his first year going to a private middle school.. The film deals with people who do not fit it and that includes all of us. It is a story of love, friendship, bullying and more. The acting is superb, the directing is excellent. Bring tissues.
