                    2.  In your next sentence you will narrow down to 

                          your chosen topic. Read the definition; then put 

                          this in your own  words; paraphrase what that  

                          means. 

                    3. Conclude this paragraph by responding in general

                          choice.

Student Sample

In our society, the people who succeed are the strong; the independent; and the outwardly “normal.” When someone has been born with any sort of mental or physical disability, they already have less of a chance to survive. The easiest way to describe this is how we treat animals in shelters. If a dog has puppies while in a shelter, they euthanize the disabled or sick puppies and keep the healthy ones. Many people who devote their lives to helping disabled animals get comments such as: “You’re taking up space and supplies for the healthy animals!” “If it couldn’t live outside of captivity why keep it?” “Isn’t it annoying to take care of such a sick animal?” “Just put it out of its misery!” Now any animal lover could agree that this is sick and wrong, correct? The problem is humans get treated like this too, not just animals. Ableism is the discrimination of people who have mental or physical disabilities. This discrimination not only effects the people who carry these disabilities, but their family and friends too.

All too often, news stories surface showing the intense violence towards special needs children in school. Teachers verbally abusing students with down syndrome or autism, calling them useless and helpless. Students taking deaf children’s hearing aids and throwing them out of windows or drowning them in water. Even kids with ADHD not getting the assistance they need to succeed in school. At the end of the day, it comes down to children being taught at an early age that if you don’t look or act like the others, you deserve to be treated badly. This mindset stays with these people as they grow older, and they continue to treat their disabled peers with disrespect. Ableism is not just “kids being kids” or “ignorance.” Ableism is taught and accepted. People with disabilities are not toys; they are not helpless; they are humans.
