Who it’s for: American Sign Language (ASL) instructors/educators
What’s included: Discussion questions based on the episode. Formats offered doc and PDF – same questions on either file.
Why it’s useful: For those educators who desire to use a movie or television show/episode but struggle with making the showing relevant, here are some discussion questions to lead students in thinking through what was viewed. Educators can use these questions as either in-class discussions or hand to students for in-class work or even as homework. Might be a good snow-day assignment, if the instructor is certain students have access to the movie (was on Netflix for a time).
Extra Information: These questions will open the opportunity to discuss d/Deaf-hearing families and communication amongst those members, d/Deaf education and mainstreaming, communication with d/Deaf persons in their chosen language, cultural point-of-view regarding speaking/signing, and d/Deaf within the political realms.
