SignWriting List May 29, 2001 Fabulous story about the Deaf pen pals!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Nancy... I am glad other teachers are interested in using SignWriting...There was a teacher in Wichita, Kansas, who used SignWriting with SEE (Signing-Exact-English method)...her name is Diana Smith...Actually Diana wanted to use it with ASL, but because some parents preferred SEE, she was trying to be flexible! Fortunately SignWriting can write any movement, so the choice of language is up to the teacher... -- Val ;-> ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List: |
