Gente real, historia real: estudio del libro "Rolling Warrior" y los derechos de las personas con discapacidad

In this class students will read and  reflect on "Rolling Warrior: The Incredible and Sometimes Awkward True Story of a Rebel Girl on Wheels Who Helped Spark a Revolution", the autobiography of activist Judith Heumann.  We will also explore the disability rights movement from other perspectives as well as hearing the voices of individuals who are advocating for disability rights today.  

Students will be encouraged to think critically and respond to the reading through a number of instructional supports including graphic organizers, creative writing, drawing etc.  Students are also welcome to share their ideas verbally by making and posting videos in our online classroom. 

The high interest, low reading level nature of this book and the use of graphic organizers and multiple ways to respond to the text make this an excellent class for kids with ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences to learn about history by reading a compelling text.

Since this class is self- paced, students will not join live meetings. 

***Be sure to let me know if you need additional time to complete the course.  I can extend the teacher comment period.
