Education
Ages 12 to 17
Diversity - Identity
Have
students examine how literature and the media represent the disabled and
reflect society’s attitudes; explore classic archetypes, such as the Phantom,
the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Beauty and the Beast, and others. Discuss the
reasons for these and whether society is changing. Suggest alternatives that
would reflect a more open attitude. Media students can study the documentary’s
influence on the audience, explaining the significance of the title and how
the story is told.
