This week you will build your analyze and interpret component. So this is a component of DS because in the art they do XYZ. Remember we are focusing on disability and reading through disability art and culture.
I strongly encourage you to use any other materials we have read throughout the semester as evidence.
Using Bill Shannon: Dancing with Crutches, clip 1:00 to 1:53, answer the questions below. Use all/most of the sources listed below to write detailed descriptions with citations. There must be principles from Kuppers and Siebers used to write the descriptions for that clip, along with other sources.
