Deaf Culture
Not all games are equally Deaf-friendly. Forget spelling bees, Trivial Pursuit, or other auditory-dependent games that have (unintentionally) shunned many a Deaf holiday celebrant. Even games that you would think are Deaf-friendly, like Pictionary, pose challenges. Some Deaf friendly board games include Monopoly, Dix It, Chess/Checkers, and Scrabble!
End of Lab:
- Sign or show Can-Do statements once more and have students evaluate their confidence
- (Use thumbs up/ thumbs down or have them rate 1-5 on how they feel after the activity)
- Encourage students to be honest in their self-evaluation
- Pay attention, and try to use feedback for future labs!
