I by far got the most out of this lesson I feel. This was truly a "walk in someone elses shoes". Students throughout the class were assigned a disability and then asked to create a wire sculpture with what they understood. Some students were deaf, some blind, some had limited motor skills, and some like me were english as a second language.
The ESL students were asked to leave the room during the directions and then our professor gave us the directions via ASL. I got none of it. So I observed the students around me and thought discovered I needed to make a three dimensional animal about twenty minutes later.
It was eye opening and really got me to understand what students can undergo in a classroom. Loved being able to experience this.
By-the-way, my sculpture is a bee. In case you couldn't tell.
