October 22, 1998 Good Morning SignWriting List - I am mildly surprised, but very pleased at the positive response the new writing lesson has received, which I posted on the web Monday. I spoke to several teachers at different schools yesterday, and all told me they like the lesson and needed more of the same. One teacher is already applying the lesson in the classroom! Writing by hand is so much a part of me that I sometimes forget that it needs to be taught...so I want you to know that I will place more emphasis on the "SignWriting by Hand" lessons in the new year. How do you feel about a pen pal club between the schools? Or perhaps there are others on the SignWriting List who would like to write letters to each other in SignWriting? We have had pen pal clubs before and they were successful in encouraging people to learn to write by hand. So if you like this idea, write to me, and I will begin to focus on setting up a SW Pen Pal Club again. Pen pals would write to each other in SW by hand, through snail mail (normal postal mail) or fax. The participating groups in the SignWriting Literacy Project might really benefit from the SW Pen Pal Club. I will respond shortly to other email messages - Thanks for writing!
