Write a journal entry summarizing and responding to something in our society regarding disability. This can be a news story on TV, in a print publication or online. It can be a visual image in print or electronic form. It can be a response to a situation that happened to you or that you saw happen. It can be based on your Service Learning experience at Transitions.

You will share these in small groups with peers before turning them in.

Summary is an explanation of the source. If you read a news article, recap the main points of it for someone else who hasn’t read it. If it’s an image, describe it. Similarly, if it is a situation, explain what happened. Summaries should be objective – just relating the facts of the matter.
 * What is Summary and Response?**

Response is being able to state your opinion about the subject matter. This is where you can say I think, I feel, I believe – and express your own attitude about the experience. When responding, consider incorporating concepts we have been discussing in class. You may have some uncertain response feelings. It’s okay to express this and even ask questions as a part of your response. This would actually be good for your group activity.
