use ASL that is a very important part of Deaf Culture. SW can be used with any books. My husband and I are changing whatever books we can get ahold of into SW. I think importantly to help you out would be getting a Deaf person to sign the story and you can gloss the words then change into SW. That is what we are doing. Also, the students are creating their own stories, so that in a sense has a part of themselves in it. Goldilocks is written into ASL Signwriting so it is indeed a very important part of Deaf Culture, but you can use any book to change into SW. It takes alittle bit of work, but worth it! Ok, I'm off the soapbox. Smile Everyone! Nancy | ||||||||
