| Body | A recent topic on TEACHASL has been movies relating to the deaf community. The following were recommended: Some films with different perspectives on/from Deaf people that I use are: Beyond Silence How To Talk to a Person Who Can't Hear (yes, it's a beginning signed English vocabulary video, but the images of Deaf folks are very positive) Children of a Lesser God Love is Never Silent (Captioned Media Program.) Deaf-Blind:Communication and Community (Sign Media Productions) ASL PAH! - Deaf Students Perspectives on Their Language (Linstock Press, now incorporated into Sign Media, I believe.) Lovejoy, J. (26 May 2004). Re: a heart is lonely hunter movie. A discussion list for teachers of American Sign Language. TEACHASL@ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA (27 May 2004). Theres another movie: In the Land of the Deaf Also, the Deaf Culture series from Sign Enhancers. Morris, P. (26 May 2004). Re: a heart is lonely hunter movie. A discussion list for teachers of American Sign Language. TEACHASL@ADMIN.HUMBERC.ON.CA (27 May 2004). -- In defense of the Heart is a Lonelyy Hunter, I think that it portrays a very realistic view of the communication isolation of the Deaf. This is what I convey when I talk about this movie with my class. I off-set this movie with Children of a Lesser God. Generally, I show COG first, and then the Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Another teaching tool I use is highlighting the stereo typing about the Deaf that is inherent in the movie. This gives the students something else to consider when learning about Deaf culture. While this movie might not work for some, it has worked for me because I bridge the gap by ensuring that the students understand the whole picture of deafness and cultural identity. Stuard, V.
