Through this novel, ASL 2 students were able to dive further into Deaf culture relating to language barriers and the pressure the hearing world puts on individuals with hearing loss to rely on speech and English. All of my students were interested and engaged in this text with it being modernly written and in the tense of a high schooler!\r\n\r\nWe completed weekly chapter readings paired in in class discussion questions. The responses to these drove voice-off discussion (all in sign language) about topics the character was facing transitioning to a School for the Deaf. At the end of each set of 3 chapters, there was a corresponding comprehension quiz. A mock debate will be the final project to wrap up our book study. Students will take a stance on how they would plan to educate their child as a hearing parent to a Deaf or hard-of-hearing child.\r\n\r\nThis book helped set our students up for their field trip to visit the Illinois School for the Deaf. They were ablet o gain a better understanding of the setting before completing classroom observations there, communicating with the students, and touring the campus.","fullyFundedDate":1744290646241,"projectUrl":"project/true-biz-diving-into-deaf-culture/9178552/","projectTitle":"True Biz: Diving into Deaf Culture","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bruno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9970719"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26334","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2292,"numTeachers":121,"percentFrplEligible":26,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":26334,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edwardsville High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edwardsville High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/edwardsville-community-unit-school-district-7/edwardsville-high-school/26334"}
