Deaf Culture

Each student will prepare a presentation on a famous Deaf. Presentations should focus on the life of this person and his/her contributions to American traditions, systems, and diversity.

Ideally, you should choose someone who is new to you! And you must choose one that you and I agree upon so there are no doubles!Presentations will be graded on scope of presentation, depth of presentation, quality of handouts and/or media usage, knowledge of topic and accuracy, ability to demonstrate research done and creation of a literature review with a minimum of 5 references cited.
