One page to send home: a short summary of the case and three questions to talk about. Nobody needs to share personal stories to use it.
Family page Lesson 10: Whose job is it to fix the blocked route?
In this case, construction blocks a curb ramp on a young woman’s route to a city workshop, and the detour points to stairs. Your student studied what one video can show, then wrote a question for the city office responsible for access.
Questions to talk about
- Who in our town takes care of sidewalks and curb ramps?
- What details make a report to the city easy to act on?
- Why should you ask someone before you post a video of them?
