Writing Homework Help

Step 1- Watch The Crash Reel, an HBO documentary directed by Lucy Walker. It tells the story of snowboarder Kevin Pearce, his rise to the top of the sport, and the training accident that changed his life.

The Crash Reel can be accessed for free if you have an HBO account, or you can see if you can obtain a free trial. The film is also available on Amazon Prime or other streaming services for a $3.99 rental fee.

Step 2- Complete the Discussion Board assignment.

DISCUSSION BOARD

You will submit THREE posts for 10 points.

FIRST- Did the movie make you think? Write 2 questions or comments about how the movie opened your eyes to traumatic brain injury. You can ask follow up questions about the medical, developmental, social implications of TBI, or you can discuss how the movie changed your perspective. In the same post, write #1 with your first comment/question and #2 with your second comment/question.

SECOND- Where are they now? Pick one of the characters (not Kevin Pearce or Shaun White) and see where they are today or share information about their lives since the making of The Crash Reel.

THIRD- Respond to a classmate’s post.
