I really liked the introduction activity to this presentation, as the class filled in we all had a sticky note resting on our tables. majority of these were pink apples, there were a handful of orange ones and only a couple green ones. Once everyone was settled and ready the presenter told us everyone with a pink note was able to stay, people with orange ones must leave in half an hour and the select few with green ones had to leave. It was a good way to show how unfair things can be and how certain people may feel, or have felt.
Another topic we spoke about with todays guest was inclusion of everyone. One of the main points was about field trips and their experience with their son. she gave us a true example that had happened to her son last year at school where the class went on a field trip and the bus that came for the class wasn’t suited for handicap people. She ended up having to leave work to come drive her son to the field trip. She spoke a lot about the importance of making everything inclusive and if a field trip isn’t going to be possible for everyone to participate in then the class shouldn’t be going.
