I attended a deaf bible study that was ran through Calvary Chapel wildwood which is located in Yucaipa California on December 6th, 2015 I enjoyed observing the differences and similarities between the deaf community and what I experience during every day life. My first observation I noticed during the bible study is that the signing seemed to be very fast at times this made me feel lost but, it reminded me of how much I need to continue to learn American Sign Language. Although the gentlemen’s signing seemed to be expedited to me I noticed he signed very artfully as if he was painting a picture with his hands the beauty in his signing was very enjoyable to watch. Another observation I had was looking at the participants how excited they were …show more content…

This event was a deaf bible study that discussed Acts 4:32-37 “Sharing in All Things” the study discussed a story post Christ’s resurrection where the apostles did not take their possessions as their own but they considered them as a whole asset to the body of Christ. The apostles who owned land went and sold their land and possessions and share that money with each other this story illustrates that we need to share with each other and be selfless to help the body of Christ. The overall bible study was quite small as far as people who were actually at the bible study there was six people other than me and the deaf minster which had its benefits because it helped ease my anxiousness with signing people who are very experienced with using it. This actually was beneficial to me because after the bible study I was able to have one on one conversations with people who were kind to me they knew I was still learning American Sign Language. A women gave me some suggestions on how to improve my signing for she noticed that my hand position was a awkward position so she showed me where my hands should start along with reminding me that I need to be not as nervous just

The school argued that signing would become a “crutch” and limit a child’s ability to speak and interact with the hearing world (31). While Tressa viewed this as a positive program at the time, she later discovered the importance of sign and how it allowed Alandra to communicate to the fullest extent. After the family moved, Alandra began attending a residential school in Jacksonville. At this school, sign and speech were used in a “total communication” method. Here, Alandra was able to spend her entire day with deaf peers and learn how easy it was to communicate with them through sign language.

Veditz’s made message of preservation and respect for sign language was very clear to his audience for many years to come. “When he begins his lecture, he appears rehearsed, but then he grows confident, and his signing becomes animated and forceful.” (Padden ). Padden shows us by this quote, how passionate Veditz is in this speech. I believe that this speech would be considered into the informative genre.

Gallaudet traveled to Europe seeking of the best educational methods for teaching deaf children. Gallaudet did not really like England’s system, because “it didn't encourage the use of manual communication, that is, sign language” (The History Behind DPN: What Happened…). Since Gallaudet did not like the way it was in England, then he went to France. Finally he met educators from the Paris School for the Deaf who agreed to share information about sign language and how to educate deaf children.

I was surprised to see how quickly it caught on throughout schools across America. The notion that deaf people should learn to speech and lip read to be like everyone else seems unreal to me. Alexander Graham Bell’s belief that “a life without signing would be a better life” was surprising especially after learning his mother and wife were deaf (“History: Through Deaf Eyes”). Bell’s oral method, to

What was your experience and feelings about watching it?   Throughout the documentary film Through Deaf Eyes, I felt amazed by deaf culture. The deaf culture is a versatile, rich, and unique community that more people need to be aware of. When the film was covering the transition of ASL schools to oral only I mostly felt ashamed of my own culture.

I never realized that St. George was such a big area in deaf individuals. I always saw it as a winter getaway and vacation spot, but for them, it is their lifetime home. In the book, I thought it was cool that he told the story about how his family treated him and it made him feel like an outsider and that he needed to change. I never want to be that hearing person that makes others feel like they aren’t worth it because they are deaf and they need to change. From now on my plan is to respect and encourage the deaf to be themselves and never push them to become something they are not.

Prior to reading these chapters I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I have never really been exposed to the Deaf- World. I have watched shows such as Switched at Birth, but I know that it doesn’t completely portray the real Deaf- Community. I was extremely interested in seeing their side of the story and gaining insight on the life they live. I decided to read chapters one, and two.
