To better understand the significance and history of the American School for the Deaf, hearing-impaired learners conduct research, hold discussions, and write a play. The lesson spans three class periods and allows the class to explore deaf culture and history by engaging them in several hands-on and discussion-based activities that can be completed in ASL or Standard English.
