The project emphasizes research and synthesis of credible sources, as well as the development of skills in multimedia presentation creation. Key components include defining ableism, tracing historical changes in societal attitudes towards disability, and making connections to character portrayals in the novel. A success criteria checklist guides the quality of content, analysis, and presentation.
