In k-1 we started class by watching another example of Deaf storytelling called "The Hotel." Traditional Deaf stories are often humorous, usually highlighting the difference between the Deaf and Hearing worlds. We reviewed our family vocabulary by using my family tree. Students then practiced telling who lives in their house. No new handouts were given.
In 2-5 we watched a video about Koko, a gorilla who can communicate with sign language. It was interesting to see how she learned to sign and to compare and contrast her signing to humans signing. We learned signs for Family vocabulary (see week 2 post for link to handout) using the Sakellaris' family's tree.
