Pbs Learning Media: Point of View: Still Tomorrow: Lesson Plan Clips: Stereotypes, Cerebral Palsy, and Poetry

In this multidisciplinary instructional activity, students examine stereotypes about people with physical disabilities. Using four video clips from Still Tomorrow, a documentary about Chinese poet Yu Xiuhua, who has cerebral palsy, students will gain awareness of the clues they use to judge people. To better understand Yu's condition, they'll conduct research about cerebral palsy and write an "advice blog" addressing stereotypes about people with disabilities. As part of that research, students will consider how they choose what to click on when they do online searches. [6:14]
