If you haven't already done so, you may want to start with the lesson titled 'Writing to persuade: Part one' Last lesson, students met Tamara who, as a result of a brain injury, lost the ability to speak and also suffers from loss of movement on one side of her body. Students got the opportunity to explore the city of Amsterdam and identify ways in which it has been designed to allow for equitable access for all. Students used this as a stimulus to reflect on the design of their local area and produced a plan for a letter to their MP, persuading them to make their village, town or city more inclusive.
