Jeoparty! - Disability Rights Law

(View Complete Item Description)

I use this Jeopardy!-style game to test, reinforce, and enhance students' understanding of Disability Rights Law. Playing the game and discussing the answers takes about one hour. I use a free online multiplayer buzzer system that requires students to respond to questions by typing their answers into a text entry field (www.cosmobuzz.net). I give students plenty of time to answer each question and award points for all correct answers. At the end of the game, I award a prize to the winning student (e.g. a Starbucks gift card). I haven't uploaded the answer key here because I don't want students to see the correct answers online; feel free to email me at david.moss@wayne.edu for a copy of the answer key.

Special Education Law Kahoot!

This game is designed to test, reinforce, and enhance students' understanding of Special Education Law. I've used it in several different ways: as a game that students play in class, with a prize for the winning student or team (playing the game and discussing the correct answers takes about one hour of class time); as a closed-book quiz that students take in class, followed by discussion of the correct answers (again, about one hour of class time); and as an open-book assignment that students complete before class, followed by discussion of the correct answers in class (about 30 minutes of class time).

A Tale of Two Interviews

(View Complete Item Description)

I use this exercise to introduce myself to students and to get them thinking and writing about basic interviewing skills such as asking open and closed questions and using active and passive listening techniques. Students read (fictional) transcripts of two interviews. I ask them to explain in writing which interviewer did a better job and to provide at least three examples of what the interviewers did or didn’t do that made one interview better than the other, with citations to relevant line numbers from the transcripts.

Initial Client Interview Transcript

(View Complete Item Description)

I use this (fictional) transcript of an initial client interview to get students thinking and talking about the component parts of an initial client interview and how an initial client interview might best be structured. I ask students to read the transcript before class and make an outline of what the interviewer is doing at different points in the interview. In class, I recruit students to read multiple parts of the transcript out loud, with breaks in the action to discuss what the interviewer is doing and how it might be done differently. The interview focuses on disability-based housing discrimination but no prior knowledge of disability or Disability Rights Law is needed for students to understand what's going on.
