I have something to ask anyone who wants to answer. Actually my hubby brought it up. We are learning SW, and it's something new to us. One thing I have noticed is that signs are different in different communities. For example, I went to PA where I met over 200 Deaf individuals, and had to have my husband interpret for me! I had never been out of NM, or Texas before, os it was a unique experience. I have a difficult time explaining to my students that signs are different all over. Ummm I'm not even sure how to put this question....but we were wondering is...if we are using the SW lessons, and one of the signs shows different than how we use it here in NM, should we rewrite the sign? We are only "babies" in this new technique, and quite unsure of ourselves. We are trying to change some of my students books into SW and alittle worried about how we should do it. So, any suggestions would be helpful:) Smile Nancy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
