Learning Observed

In shared reading, Madagascar Deaf learners have learned not only to read the text but also to translate into NZSL.  Mohammed understood the story well and he was developing to translate English texts into NZSL. Mohammed was curious to learn unknown words and examine them in the English dictionary and NZSL dictionary.  If he was not sure the meanings in the dictionary, he asked his learning coach and/or the NZSL interpreter what it means. He worked collaboratively with his buddy and was capable to share his understandings with him.  He tried to use correct NZSL grammar while retelling the story.  When discussing about the ending of the story, he connected his own experience and shared his ideas about how we can stop teasing in the classroom.
