Overview
1. n 800–1000 words, reflect on your current understanding of disability, particularly as it relates to physical activity, sport, recreation, or media. You may include personal experiences, family or community connections, professional interests, or observations that have shaped how you think about disability. Then, describe:
- What brings you to this class?
- What assumptions or beliefs do you carry about disability, inclusion, and representation?
- How do you hope this course will challenge, expand, or complicate those beliefs?
- What specific topics or questions are you most curious to explore?
2. This is not a research paper. I’m not looking for a perfect essay or for you to “say the right thing.” Instead, I invite you to write honestly, thoughtfully, and with an open mind. This is a chance for you to situate yourself in the course, and for me to learn more about who you are and how to support your learning.After watching Crip Camp, reflect deeply on the following questions in an essay of 800–1000 words. Your response should be honest, grounded in your own reactions, and engage both emotionally and intellectually with the film.
- What did you feel as you watched this film—at different points? Not just what you thought, but what feelings did it stir in you? Choose at least one moment or scene that stayed with you and explain why.
- What connections (if any) can you draw between the stories in Crip Camp and your own lived experiences—whether as someone who identifies as disabled, nondisabled, an advocate, ally, athlete, educator, or community member?
- How has this film challenged or expanded your understanding of disability, activism, or inclusion? What assumptions or gaps in knowledge did it expose?
- Based on what you saw and learned, what is your responsibility—as a future professional, teammate, community member, or simply a human being—when it comes to equity and access for people with disabilities in physical activity and beyond?
- No outside sources needed—this is about your personal engagement with the film.
- Be specific and reflective: superficial or generalized responses (e.g., "It was inspiring") will not be sufficient.
- Use "I" statements. This is a reflection, not a formal analysis
