Deaf Culture Notes
The “Deaf grab bag” section of this lab is important because sign language learners should understand and appreciate the culture along with the language just like a non-native speaking person learning a new spoken language should learn about the corresponding culture.
End of Lab

- (Use thumbs up/ thumbs down or have them rate 1-5 on how they feel after the activity)
