Directions: You will read the following chapter from "Deaf Like Me" book (written by Thomas S.
Spradley, James P. Spradley, and Lynn Spradley). You will post your "journal." Your first paragraph
will be a brief 2 - 3 sentence summary of the chapters you read. Your second paragraph you will
include your thoughts/ideas/opinions about this chapter. How does it make you feel? What did you
already know? What was new to you? Imagine yourself...? This sections needs to be approximately
8 - 10 sentences. After you do this post you will then read your peer students post. You will then reply
to one other peer post ... do not just say "nice job," or "I agree;" you can say that but tell me why!
These replies to your peers should be between 3 and 5 sentences.
Tom and Louise really struggle with a lot of self doubt through these chapters. Every time they think they are making progress things seem to go backwards instead of forward.
ReplyDeleteAfter they learn a new way to try and teach Lynn how to talk it starts off great then goes straight downhill when all Lynn would do was growl or make animal noises. It must be really frustrating to think you are finding a better way to teach her then having to start over again or go back to what you did before. I understand Lynn's anger because nobody can understand what she wants or what she is trying to say. I would be angry too if people couldn't understand what I am trying to say.
