Step 1: Create a Discussion Post
Create a discussion post that responds to one question of your choice from the list below, related to “If Hollywood’s so creative, why can’t it tell new stories about people with disabilities?” by Alyssa Rosenberg. Your discussion post should be approximately 100-200 words in length.
Why are people with disabilities expected to play only roles where their disabilities are the focus of their characters?
How important is it that Hollywood and other parts of pop culture find ways to represent people with disabilities more often? What can audiences do to demand more for characters with disabilities?

Step 2: Create a Second Discussion Post
Create a discussion post that responds to one question of your choice from the list below, related to “The Ethics of Hodor” by Spencer Kornhaber and Lauryn S. Mayer. Your discussion post should be approximately 100-200 words in length.
How does the fantastic setting of Game of Thrones (and other fantasy books or shows) allow us a chance to rethink disability? Discuss how the show also invites us to think about disability in medieval society.
Can Hodor teach us anything about vulnerability and interdependence? Does he need to be disabled to do so?
If you’ve seen Game of Thrones, can you think of other disabled characters and how their disability is portrayed?
