The music dilemma + representing disability

Up until yesterday, our progress was being hindered by the fact we couldn't find any background music for our film opening. However, we've decided to join forces with garageband and create our own music using simple beats and more.
so far it's looking fairly successful, so, hopefully, all wil lwork out.

With Mrs. Francis we looked at how disabled persons were represented in British TV drama. Most of the time, disabled people were simply represented as somebody in a wheelchair and were played by non-disabled people.
We were given the task of creating a disabled character and describing how we would represent them in a current british TV drama.
The Trybus and myself decided that a young boy, with down syndrome, should be seen as an equal figure and represented as a normal kid amongst all the others.
