You are not limited to these options! Feel free to choose another movie/show with characters with special needs that may be of interest to you.
Choose one of the following options:
Option 1: Using the guiding questions in the final assignment descriiption above, create a Powerpoint presentation with at least 5 slides (that have content) about your movie and reflections. Include a short summary of the movie/show, a descriiption of the character with special needs, and your reflections from watching the movie/show. Be creative and be sure to include visuals!
Option 2: Write a 1-2 page paper (12pt font double spaced). Include a short summary of the movie/show, a descriiption of the character with special needs, and your reflections from watching the movie/show.
This is one of the few times you can ATTACH the document onto your post. Be creative and include visuals. You can use the sample presentation as an example. But do not limit yourself to that, you can include anything you feel relevant to your topic, such as articles or videos as well!
