Common Lit: Why I Refuse to Say I "Fight" My Disability

Curated by ACT

CommonLit.org is a wonderful resource to use in a Language Arts classroom. Each story or article is accompanied by guided reading questions, assessment questions, and discussion questions. In addition, students can click on words to see the definitions, choose to have the text read aloud, and have chosen text translated. In this article, Karin Hitselberger, who has cerebral palsy, takes issue with the language sometimes used in discussing this disability. [Free account registration required for specific tools.]
