Student-facing instructions
You will listen to someone's story about living with a disability. After, in groups, talk about what you heard and saw. Then draw a picture of what the problem looked like and how you think it can be solved. Share your drawing with the class and create a question like, 'How can we make it easier for people to move, so that everyone can enjoy the playground?'
