I recently purchased Vol 1. of a TV animated series called Punky (for under €15) which has 10 episodes. This animated series is perfect for teaching about differences and I fully intend to use it in Junior Cert R.E. and C.S.P.E.
Punky tells the stories of the everyday life of a girl called Punky, who has Down Syndrome. As a child with Down syndrome, Punky lives in the moment. If something isn’t right, or if someone has a problem, Punky will set out to fix it. To Punky, the solution is always simple.
