[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]
The first half of the videotape, the story in its entirety,
isn't touched. If people don't understand it, that's fine. The
second half of the videotape is for the analysis and study of the
story. Once the students have analyzed and studied the story during
the second part, they can go back to the first part and watch the
story again with a greater appreciation and deeper understanding. I
don't give any explanation of the story in sign on the videotape
until the very end where I am in terviewed and asked questions about
the story. I am asked how I came up with the idea for that story.
Is it a retold story or a translation? At that point I explain about
myself as an artist. I explain my experiences growing up, where I
was train ed, and how I was inspired to create that story. That
isn't until the very end of the videotape though.
That gives you an idea of what the ASL Literature Series will
do for each story. Any other questions?
Question: When we teach English literature, we teach words such as
mood, tone, etc.. Facial expression helps establish the mood and
tone. For example, the first part of your story was sad. The facial
expressions showed a lot in terms of mood and tone. (The rest of the
question isn't on videotape.)
