November 11, 1999 Good Morning SW List Members! I am happy to announce that Silent News just published a new article about SignWriting in the November, 99 issue. On page 14 you will find pictures of Deaf children from Albuquerque, New Mexico reading and demonstrating SignWriting. The article focuses on Cecilia Flood and her students, who are participating in the SignWriting Literacy Project. Cecilia and her students were interviewed by author Alexandra Han. Some of the quotes from those interviews are really priceless. This is the first time we have ever had a school in the USA get this involved with learning SignWriting. The article's title was clearly chosen by editors...trying to create interest to grab the attention of the casual reader...the title is: A New Controversial Approach to Literacy: SignWriting: Will It Work? Judging by the interviews with the kids in the article, it seems to be working...wonder what the kids will say to that title!? Val ;-) |
