Asl Literature Series

Product Description

This title, featuring two original ASL narratives by Ben Bahan and Sam Supalla, are covered in depth through classroom analysis and use of the student videotext now on DVD. Linguistic and cultural notes in the book provide readers with background information leading to greater appreciation of events in each narrative. Used in tandem outside of the classroom, these tools enhance ASL comprehension. Ben Bahan's fable, Bird of a Different Feather, is about the different-looking bird within a family of eagles.

In Sam Supalla's For a Decent Living, the protagonist is a deaf boy on a journey to find his deaf identity.
