To the Group:

I recommend two films: There is a television documentary from a television station in Salt Lake City called "Streetlife: The Invisible Family." (mostly white families are interviewed) I also recommend the film "Almost Home." (transitional housing and education isses - mostly black and hispanic in NYC). For further information on this issue I also recommend you contact my professor at UNC Charlotte, Maria Yon, (mgyon at email.uncc.edu) who teaches a class on teaching homeless children for doctoral students.

that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
"Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice."

Subject: [PovertyRaceWomen 161]  Video to Sensitive Educators,SLPs to Poverty Issues
 

I am a speech-language pathologist (SLP) and I will be doing a
presentation to my colleagues working in school settings on literacy in
low income homes and implications for SLPs. I am looking to make this
1/2 day session as interactive as possible and am seeking some help for
a video or a clip from a movie which would help to sensitize the
audience to some of the issues of those children that come from
low-income homes. Unfortunately, most of what I have some across relates
to African Americans or immigrant minority groups.  Is anyone aware of
something that might meet my needs (30 minutes or less). I am also
looking for ideas for activities that could be done with the group.
Thanks in advance!
Rhonda Rubin
