Sculpting Activity: What Disability Looks Like
Intention: This activity teaches preschoolers to accept others and allows them to be creative as well. What to do: Give each preschooler some clay, a paper plate and craft sticks. Instruct the preschoolers to sculpt something, such as a person or a dog. After they have sculpted for a couple of minutes, ask them to use only one hand to sculpt. Critical Thinking: After they're finished, ask them how much more difficult it was to sculpt with just one hand. Explain to them that some people don't have both of their arms or legs and have to face many challenges every day. |

Reflection
This project was definitely a good nudge in getting us to build better communication and relationships with classmates we previously did not talk to very much. Once we had a solid plan to work off of after discussions, we were able to create a coherent lesson plan. I enjoyed making the teaching example and seeing how everyone in the group approached solving their individual problems to create different outcomes. I think we were all slightly nervous approaching such a controversial topic while trying not to be incorrect or hurtful towards any person or identity. However, I think and hope that our project was successful in avoiding doing so, and I definitely learned a great deal not only about disability and its relation to education, but also more about working with Procreate. I am particularly passionate about this topic because I hope educational institutions generally can become healthier and safer environments towards disabled students. I enjoyed doing this project and if I work on anything similar again in the future, I now know where I can improve on.
