Deaf Culture Videotapes for ASL 102 (40 points: 10 points per video)
Barbara Bernstein Fant, Instructor


When you study a language, you must also study the culture of the people who use the language.  Through these videotapes we will explore the world of Deaf people.

Some of these videos we will watch together in class.  Some will be homework assignments.  You will need to watch all the
videos and complete the assignments to get full credit for this part of the course.

All videotapes are on reserve in the Media Center in the Library and in the ASL/ITP Lab

In-Class Viewing and Response Questions:  (Note: M/W class only - due to 2 holidays this Winter quarter, watch all 4 videos as an out-of-class assignment.  Check web schedule for due dates).
