PLE Group Differences

I thought the discussion was extremely interesting. All of the articles were very interesting and it was fascinating to see how related some of the articles were. The urban group were talking about a lot of the same things that our article talked about. As far as our personal discussion, it was good at first, but the discussion turned to the basics of ASL and deafness instead of the basis of the article. I strongly agreed with my article in that Deaf culture and ASL needs to be taken into consideration more when planning education. The little discussion we had about it, the class seemed to agree and were surprised to find out the truth. As I said before, the discussion turned to basics of ASL and deafness and it is always great for us to advocate for the Deaf and answer questions but I would have liked to focus more on the education and the articles. I did not have a chance to relate our own article to the other one and how it speaks about moral debt and separating certain groups because this relates to Deaf children all too well. This will affect my future practice because I will always be advocating for Deaf students and know that they learn differently and know that hearing teachers are making decisions for them. I will know that ASL is their first language and use that as the way to teach and model English as a second language.
