I’ve grouped people doing similar things together but I understand that you may be working independently and you may show and tell independently.

You have about 10 minutes to present your project.

Papers

Your papers are due to me on 3 December . I’ll get feedback to you by early the next week. Then your revised version will be due no later than noon on 16 December .

With about a month to go in the semester we better get going on projects and papers .

Discuss the video Through Deaf Eyes by adding a comment to this post. Due 9 Nov 2010.

You’ll find lots of good info at the PBS site including a transcript and discussion guide .

To help guide the discussion, consider these questions:

1. Did your perceptions of deafness change watching this story?
2. What segments did you like best? Feel free to use the transcript to help you remember them.
3. Were you surprised that the students took over the school? That they hot wired the buses?

Feel free to include anything else that interested or challenged you.
