1. Read chapter 2 in //The Joy of Teaching//.

2. When you finish the section on students with disabilities, watch a [|10 minute presentation by Aimee Mullins] who talks about "The Opportunity of Adversity."

This chapter addresses 6 main questions about students in today's schools:
 * 1) How racially and ethnically diverse are our schools?
 * 2) How does socio-economic status (SES) affect students?
 * 3) How does gender influence students?
 * 4) What should teachers know about English language learners?
 * 5) What are the religions of students?
 * 6) How are students with disabilities integrating schools?

3. Pick one of the 6 questions to answer. Synthesize the information from the chapter related to your question. Do not use the words or sentence structure from the chapter summary on p. 86. Write 1 paragraph with no more than 6 sentences in it for your summary. Your summary should answer the question. This is not an opinion piece, you must use information from the chapter.

4. Bring your paragraph to class in a word processing document.
