Hi Doc, I tried to kidnap you, but someone beat me to it. I was flipping down the blogs I watch column and saw this---THANK YOU! BTW, I bought the last chocolate bar yesterday, I would have sent it out already, but I was having a choco-attack and ate one of your bars-felt guilty and finally made it to the store to buy it again---The PACKAGE is going out tomorrow! So...live for you! Jodi

New Children's Books with Deaf Characters! (click KIDS ZONE picture)
attending Finals Weekend at UVa
After the ceremonies, I'm feeling 'official'. I think I'll wear my tam everyday in class- ha!
Adolescent Deaf Characters
Acquiring fictional books that include deaf characters can be time-consuming and challenging for teachers and librarians. The research examining deaf characters in fiction is extremely limited and most of the recent articles focus on children’s literature-- specifically picture books. I hope this Blog assists teachers in recommending books with characters with whom our students can relate. I also hope this Blog assists in recommending books with multiple realities of the D/deaf human experience. While my primary focus is adolescent and Young Adult chapter books, I will add information about children's literature and adult 'cross-over' texts from time to time. Enjoy, Sharon Pajka-West, Ph.D.

Jodi, this is a great video!
Oooohhh! Perfect timing.. I'll (hopefully) be over the stomach flu when the chocolate arrives.
Don't get the Kidnap thing on FB but if folks tolerate my vampires, I'll accept almost anything LOL.
