About These Curriculums
ASL's literary traditions — and the leaders who shaped Deaf culture
The American Sign Language Literature Series, by Sam Supalla and Ben Bahan, centers on two classic ASL narratives — Bird of a Different Feather and For a Decent Living. Students study the stories for comprehension, literary analysis, and their linguistic and cultural significance, then build expressive skills by retelling them.
Movers & Shakers: Deaf People Who Changed the World, by Susan M. Mather & Cathryn Carroll, is a bilingual workbook of twenty-one exercises highlighting Deaf individuals — some culturally Deaf, some not — who changed the society around them and the world we live in today. It's a rich tool for Deaf Studies, Bilingualism, and Language Arts.
