Have
students research support of disabled children while journaling personal
responses. Using Four Corners, Thinking Hats or Value Lines, have students
explore society’s responsibility for disabled children. Ask groups to
prioritize and develop ways to solve society’s challenges regarding disabled
children, sharing in multimedia or dramatic presentations (mock trials,
interviews, case studies, debates, skits). Media students can explore the ways
the film emphasizes the parents’ point of view.
