Dignitas Group Project



TO DO LIST:

Research your ability and identify what it means.
You will need to search for disability as a culture. The route I want you to take is to look online for what you can find that discusses disability as a culture. When you are finding information for your research you’re looking it as a way of life.

Then you will make a PowerPoint, a poster and a paper. The paper needs to be 5 pages double spaced. You will only need one paper for each group. (This will be done with your ability group.)

You must start researching your ability, identify what it means. What it means to be blind, what it means to have down syndrome, autistic ect…

FOR YOUR PAPER:

You need factual information such as symptoms, how it can occur. Then you need to walk us through a day. What is it like for them to go through their day? Being Deaf I wake up to a vibrating alarm clock. That’s how my day begins. Then I go to my son he says, “Mom are you turned on?” blah blah…need all the little details. Then provide us with accommodations, so that they may be successful throughout their day. Finally find something educational that you can use about these different abilities. You want to EMPOWER, do not pity. Youtube is great place to find such things. Your paper will need to have 5 references.


THIS WEEK:

This week you need to meet with your group and start creating a rough draft of this. You should start with your paper. This will evolve into your PowerPoint and then into your poster. Feb. 14th I will need a draft of what you have found. The following week, Feb 21, I will need a rough draft of your paper.

IMPORTANT: For your paper you will want to contact agencies, school districts. It is very important that you experience this ability. I want you to go to these places and submerge yourself in this culture. I want you to experience what teachers, parents go through when finding these and looking for these resources.
