Listening Time By Elizabeth Verdick
This week in Sprouts 2 we are learning how, when, and which words to use in accordance with our manners. This morning in circle time we went over how to say please, thank you, help please, and gentle touches in sign language. For small group we read “Listening Time” by Elizabeth Verdick and “Yes, Yes, No, No” by Leslie Patricelli. Outside on the playground we shared the balls, explored the rocks, and watched our big kid friends from the gate.
Have a great night!!!

She repeatedly mentions the fact that she eats oat porridge and drinks hot cocoa, despite the fact that she is living in a country with a hot climate.…

    First Time By Jamaica Kincaid

    In Jamaica Kincaid’s article “On seeing England for the First Time”, she demonstrates the how her opinion, filled with bitterness and hate for England, was shaped by an oppressive and influential culture. Although she expresses a hint of reverence towards England early on in her essay, she consistently shows signs of bitterness and resentment towards England throughout the article using parallelism, a sarcastic tone, and strong diction. Even in instances where she tries to make England sound appealing, she ceaselessly succeeds at working in her own current opinion to make these statements sound insincere.…

    Anthem By Gabrielle Trede

    “It is a sin to write this.” begins the story of Anthem.

    "Quiet Odyssey" by Mary Paik Lee.

    "Quiet Odyssey" by Mary Paik Lee.

    Life in the United States was anything but heavenly for Asian Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As vividly described in Mary Paik Lee's autobiography, "Quiet Odyssey", a very large majority of the Asian American population residing in America during this time period "never had enough money for a normal way of life" (Lee, p.9). They usually had to resort to difficult physical labor to barely get by, jeopardizing their health in the process. Japan's subjugation of Korea, even though it actually took place in Korea, greatly affected the Korean population in America, sometimes even causing some of the initial Korean presence in the States. Lee's story reveals some of the obscure aspects of Korean history that otherwise may be more difficult to excavate. It also depicts the racial discrimination severely rampant during this time, and how Asian Americans worked to better their position in American society despite this obstacle. Asian Americans in Mary Paik Lee's Quiet Odyssey brutally experienced the effects of poverty, degradation, colonialism, and racial discrimination, as reflected in Lee's accounts of personal experience and Asian American Cultures 101 of the University of Washington.…

    speak by Lauren anderson

    Speak by Laurie Anderson, is the type of book that makes you really think about the choices you will have in your life. It is about friendship, and how art is the only way you can really express yourself. Speak has all the parts for a successful “teen” drama. It has suspense that makes your eyes want to fly across the page, back and forth until you know what, why, and how the book turns out in the end. I have read almost one third of the book and I now know a lot about Melinda life and why she so isolated and insecure. Melinda is still struggling with the secrete she been keeping inside her, she is constantly being urged to speak, often by celebrities she imagines talking to her. For example, when Melinda feverishly imagines daytime talk show hosts giving her advice, she hears Jerry Springer telling her, "Speak up […], Melinda, I can't hear you!" (76.6). the real people in Melinda's life are also urging her to talk. Mr. Freeman, Melinda's art teacher, is the only adult who can clearly see that Melinda is holding a secret that's tearing her apart. He encourages her to express her emotions through art and to speak her secrets out loud.…

    Trio by Edwin Morgan

    Edwin Morgan’s poem ‘trio’ is about a moment where Morgan saw a man and two girls walking in Glasgow, down Buchanan Street in the cold at Christmas time.

In the poem ‘trio’ Edwin Morgan also uses repetition and allusion to show us how memorable and meaningful this experience was to him.…

    The Starbucks deaf event was the most fun I've had in months. I had previously gone to the Oakridge Mall deaf event, which I know does not count, but I went there anyway to try to get over some on my nerves. I was very nervous at the Oakridge mall, it was like trying to face against the cobra, but a nice man named John, and a young girl named Penny really helped me get over my nerves. The next night we went to Starbucks there was a few people there already but no one I knew. Then I found Sarah, a hearing girl that I met at the Oakridge mall event. She was really nice, and helped me introduce myself to everyone else, but after about 10 minutes I no longer needed her help. I was able to introduce myself I met a few other hearing students from another school, De Anza, and they were kind of having a hard time signing, definitely harder than I was. Guess that goes to show who the better teacher is. I talked with them for a while, or more accurately, I talked and signed at the same time. I was able to sign about 80% of the time, the other 20% was asking for signs that I could use. I taught the students some new signs they could use, and it's a surprised me even although we been learning the same amount of time, they had not learned as much. I decided to go into the main room where I met some of the people I met previously at the mall, such as Sarah, John, and a few others. With them I just signed without speaking, since they are really really good at signing. After awhile I decided to bring out my Stick anywhere Speaker, this is a little gadget that when stuck to something solid amplifies the sound as well as vibrates whatever it is stuck on. I figured that because it has such powerful vibrations to be able to stick to anything to make noise, that everyone could feel it. I stuck it to a wooden beam, and then invited some of the people I met to come feel the music. It worked perfectly…
