    We talked about our experience of disability,watched two videos and discovered words related to disability.

    Video 1

    An Oscar winning animated film with the message'The real kindness is when you are willing to give up something you need.

    We wrote summaries of this video in class. Here is a model example.

    An old man was standing in a train,because he couldn’t find a seat.A young woman gave him her seat.The man didn’t want help,he was proud.They both had a long journey of about 6 hours.The old man thanked her and accepted the seat. The young girl had to hold onto a rail for the rest of the journey.The ticket collector and arrived and asked for the tickets.The old man only had a ticket to stand and the girl had a seat.The ticket collector was surprised , but the girl said sshh.He offered her another seat in the next carriage. The girl took her crutches and started to move.The other passengers were shocked and embarrassed. The message was always help others in need

Try to avoid doing the same video as the others in your group.Keep it simple.

      In class we watched

      https://www.ted.com/talks/david_sengeh_the_sore_problem_of_prosthetic_limbs


      Here is my summary of the video.

      •I watched the Ted Talk by David Sengen  .He  is  not disabled but comes from  from  Sierra Leone.He saw the effect of the war  in the 1990’s .He and his family had to run away from the fighting.There were many amputees in his country with uncomfortable prostheses or no protheses,because they couldn't afford one.  He thought to himself that there must be a way of helping these people.
      •He went to the US to study.He  met Hugo Herr  a climber  and professor with prosthetic limbs. He did  a PHD  under Hugo Herr at MIT institute. He designed custom prosthetic sockets using magnetic resonance imaging   and a   3D printer . His prosthetic limbs were very comfortable , cheap and successful. 
      •His message is he  believes disabled people anywhere must have the opportunity to live a meaningful life.





    • Before class 5 you are going to watch a very short video about one of the participants in the commercial 'We're the superhumans.' You have subtitles to help.You choose one of the four videos. This time you are going to summarize the video and record your text and post it. FOR 13.11.You can use expressions from the video, but you must link the ideas yourself and put the context, so that they make sense. Try to use your own words as much as possible, if you want a good mark.It will help to imagine that you are telling someone about it, who doesn't know about the advertising campaign 'Yes I can' and who hasn't seen the video.Try to make your recording about 2 minutes by explaining the background to the channel 4 commercial for the Rio Paralympics . When you record your text pay attention to the word and sentence stress as you will be mostly evaluated  on this. Post your work on the moodle.



      Your teacher has recorded a short  example based on Jonatha Bastos the Brazilian pianist in the film.I have not included the part explaining the background to the campaign.
