Students will complete a seminar ticket prior to entering the classroom for the seminar. The seminar ticket consists of 3 questions that students need to answer based on the text and I will be checking off the tickets as students are arriving into the class. This ticket lets me know that the students read the text prior to entering the classroom and has some recollection of the question they have about the text and their own opinions and values on the text itself. The ticket also lets me know as…

Although the ableism in television and film is incredibly prevalent today- it is built off of the hundreds of years of creative work that depicts people with physical, mental, and cognitive disabilities as an object used to produce certain emotions from audience. It is a common practice to tell a person offended by this ableism to not read, watch, or listen to these pieces of work- but it is not that simple. Ableism in…

Once all plausible options have been presented, the next step would be to analyze each one in detail, weighing pros and cons of each (DECIDE, n.d., para. 3). If I were to go with my first option, and divulge this information to my friends, the negative consequences of my actions would far outweigh the positive.

Deafness means people can’t hear or speak. The word of deafness itself is automatically the part for the disabilities in hearing peoples’ view. I think it doesn’t because we have American Sign Language. Anyway, I often get discriminations from hearing people. I went to the deaf school when I was in the…

Imagine growing up having a disability, but people don’t know the whole story behind it. There was this girl, and she became deaf as a baby. She was carried in her mom’s stomach while she had chicken pox. The mother then gave her child Pneumothorax in both lungs, when she was eight years old. The baby had to go through a severe process in the hospital for fifty nine days straight. The process included having chest tubes in the lungs, and medicine to paralyze her body, so she could not breathe…
