A Raisin In The Sun: Live Theater Interpreted In ASL

All of my deaf and hard of hearing students need 37 copies of "A Raisin in the Sun" so that we can read and study the book before seeing the live theater performance interpreted into ASL. My hard of hearing students need the option of listening to the audiobook before the performance, so we need two audio copies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Aguirre's classroom raised $416

This project is fully funded

I teach deaf and hard of hearing high school students at a residential school for the deaf. A high percentage of my students are Hispanic or Native American.

Many of my students are economically disadvantaged. Many of these students see their first live theater performance via my class. Having a copy of the book allows them to be fully prepared for this experience.

Prior to the performance not only will we read the book but we will also watch a movie of a taped performance. With a trip to a live theater performance as bait, these students are highly motivated to read a complex and difficult text.

Your help will enable students to prepare for a live theater performance by reading this marvelous classic text.
