Description: "Films can provide powerful images that can help students develop an appreciation and understanding of other people, cultures and historical events. However, films can also perpetuate misinformation and stereotypes. Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Paris conducted extensive research on how films can be used in American Sign Language Classes. Teachers can use these activities to help their students discover the vibrant and exciting Deaf culture. This book contains background, information and activities for use with: And Your Name Is Jonah, The Hammer, Love Is Never Silent, Mr. Holland's Opus, Sweet Nothing in My Ear."--Back cover.
