Deaf Culture Notes
Deaf people are surrounded by hearing people who have no knowledge of sign language at all so when hearing people know even a little bit of sign, it makes communication easier and creates a feeling of inclusivity.
End of Lab:
- Read can-do statements and have students evaluate their confidence with cards
- (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!
