Objective
Students will observe a program for disabled children and identify their reactions to the experience.
Materials
Transportation, if required. Notebooks.
Procedure
Students will tour a facility for disabled children. Each student should have a notebook and keep a log of everything they see and their feelings about it. Upon returning to their classroom their logs could be shared as a group. They could then write a report about how they feel if their brother or sister attended the program they visited. They could also write a creative story pretending to be one of the children they saw and describing their life as they imagine it to be.
