  • Literacy and Numeracy Virtual Learning Grade 4
    Grade 4 Task Card Week 1: How might we communicate our thoughts, feelings and ideas? What do you know about Sign Language? What are different ways people communicate their ideas? Y Read the article: “Deaf Activist Nyle DiMarco Wants You To Know About Sign Language.” C A In the article, DiMarco along with many others are working to increase awareness of International Day of Sign Languages and empower (support) Deaf and hard of hearing people as decision makers. LITER Using Appendix 4-A, create a media text (poster) that shares the importance of sign language as part of achieving full human rights for deaf and hard of hearing people.

A Use Appendix 4-B to help you record your observations. Then, complete the remaining questions. THEM A Analyze your findings! M y What sounds and vibrations do you notice within your community? y Share your learning with someone at home. Sound has different tones. For example, how your voice goes up and down when you’re happy or angry. How do sound waves make different sounds? Try this: y Place drinking cups in a straight line. y Pour different amounts of water into each cup. y Lightly tap each cup to hear the sound it makes. y Observe what happens with different amounts of water. y Record your observations. SCIENCE Why do the objects with different amounts of liquid or different lengths make different sounds? Explain to someone what you think is happening.

  • KEY CONCEPTS Embracing Black ASL As Has Been Mentioned Multiple Times in the Film, Black ASL Has Historically Been Characterized As “Less Than” White ASL
    CHAPTER 7: LEGACY (25:02-26:38) This section looks towards the future and discusses how the Black Deaf community would like to see Black ASL understood and treated. KEY CONCEPTS Embracing Black ASL As has been mentioned multiple times in the film, Black ASL has historically been characterized as “less than” White ASL. Newer narratives, however, have begun to characterize Black ASL as “hip” or “cool,” a cultural object of value. While it is heartening to see that positive perceptions of Black ASL are emerging, it is important to embrace Black ASL for more than just its “coolness.” More education and greater public awareness regarding Black ASL will allow people to understand it better and embrace it as a valuable, systematic, legitimate, culturally and historically grounded language variety. “I want people to recognize this, that this is what we live for … to share our story and to show that our experience is valid.” -Felicia Williams, educator “It’s soul; it’s unity; there’s history; there’s culture. All of that is encapsulated into this thing we call ‘Black ASL’....when you understand Black ASL, you see us.” -Shentara Cobb, student 2 COMMON MISCONCEPTION the truth is people may think Black ASL is not a language indicative of ignorance or a lack of education! Rather, it is a systematic and Black ASL is a language of legitimate language ignorance or laziness grounded in a rich cultural history. LINGUISTIC CONCENSUS: Black ASL should be understood not as something that is “less than” White ASL but as something that has a rich history and culture--something that is valued.

    R EA IN CHARLESTON Y COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT – R 2017 2018 E V I E W INTRODUCTION There is much to celebrate as we look back on the 2017-18 school year in Charleston County. The hard work, dedication, and commitment of every member of the CCSD family is evident in all of our triumphs and challenges. All of our gains are a result of the commitment from our CCSD family to ensure that every single day, students are the heart of our work. This year we celebrate numerous accomplishments on the individual, school, and district level by our talented students and staff. To begin, the district's Early College High School program completed its inaugural year with great success, while the district as a whole saw improvement in reading and math scores in 11 of 12 grades on the 2018 state accountability tests. We had schools selected as Capturing Kids' Hearts National showcase schools, Project Lead the Way Distinguished Schools, a National School to Watch, and a National Blue Ribbon School. Burke High earned the Best in Network Award from New Tech Network in its first year of the program and our teacher vacancies have continued to drop to their lowest level in years through increased retention, attraction, and reward measures the Board of Trustees and district have supported. Additionally, the district developed and approved a new five-year strategic plan with the help and input of its various stakeholders and sought its first- ever district-wide accreditation from a national agency. On the whole, we are seeing more students in work-based learning, internships, and apprenticeships, as well as in Advanced Placement courses Gerrita Postlewait surpassing the nation's above in pass rate.
