Communication n Divided into three domains: Ø Interpersonal (1. 1) Ø Interpretive (1. 2) Ø Presentational (1. 3)

Communication 1. 1 Interpersonal Ø Ø Student to student communication, not teacher to student Live or through technology

Communication 1. 2 Interpretive Ø Information only in ASL Ø Subtitles, captions, and voicing do not meet the standards Ø Refers to the process of comprehending material, not interpreting from ASL to English

Communication 1. 3 Presentational Ø Ø Intended to develop register skills Memorizing/preparing material is emphasized, not “off the cuff” Recording information is emphasized Know the difference of what makes a good and bad presentation Record your opinion on a current event within the Deaf community

Cultures Divided into two domains: Ø Practices & Perspectives (2. 1) Ø Products & Perspectives (2. 2)

Cultures 2. 1 Practices & Perspectives Ø Understanding the “why” behind the practice is emphasized

Cultures 2. 2 Products & Perspectives Ø Includes tangible items (art, film, etc. ) and intangible items (Deafhood, De’Via, Audism, etc. ) Ø “Perspective” refers to understanding how and why a product reflects and is a part of Deaf culture
