After the ceremonies, I'm feeling 'official'. I think I'll wear my tam everyday in class- ha!
Adolescent Deaf Characters
Acquiring fictional books that include deaf characters can be time-consuming and challenging for teachers and librarians. The research examining deaf characters in fiction is extremely limited and most of the recent articles focus on children’s literature-- specifically picture books. I hope this Blog assists teachers in recommending books with characters with whom our students can relate. I also hope this Blog assists in recommending books with multiple realities of the D/deaf human experience.
While my primary focus is adolescent and Young Adult chapter books, I will add information about children's literature and adult 'cross-over' texts from time to time.

Thanks Bill. I couldn't access that etonline link... but I did find these pictures of Matlin with her dance partner.
wonder what Dancing with the Stars is the same with Let's dance? What is different?
