He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. Hes already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation. I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class? I was petrified. I didnt want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my culture (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? Ive never thought about it like that before. I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizable and distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understandAmerican Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more. Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, where deaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. He met Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and, in 1817, the two founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language. Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language. Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and speakers of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another. You know what? Im not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, Im actually looking forward to it. Maybe Ill even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture. 41. The writer of this passage is unable to _.
