A Sign of Respect - Part 1
Unit 10 - Exercise 10a

Choice Point 10a: Carol asks for more light
Question 1 of 2
What was your first answer choice?
____ A ____B
_X__C
Explain why you made that choice: This choice seemed the best to me because it required the least amount of work
to get through. The two friends can find a better place to sit without having to make a ruckus of the furniture.
Question 2 of 2
What would you do if you were in this situation at your house, where more light is needed for a clear conversation in
sign language?
I would try to move the conversation to the room with the most light, or open a curtain to let in sunlight.

Choice Point 10b: Negotiating between Deaf and Hearing Friends and Family
Question 1 of 2
What was your first answer choice?
____ A ____B
_X___C
Explain why you made that choice: This choice seemed like the most polite to me. Amy was not scrambling to
interpret something that was unnecessary for her friend to understand, so she gave a brief explanation of the voiced
conversation and apologized for the inconvenience.
Question 2 of 2
It is often awkward dealing with situations where you are in a group with a deaf person and a non-signing
individual.
How would you personally handle this?
It might feel awkward during the interaction, but making sure you let your friend know you will be right back to
signing while you handle the voiced conversation is best, giving a summary of what happened afterwards as well
can help with politeness.

Choice Point 10c: Phone Rings
Question 1 of 2
What was your first answer choice?
____ A _X___B ____C
Explain why you made that choice: Letting your friends know that you are taking a phone call and then giving some
information about the call gives enough context for the Deaf friend to grasp.
Question 2 of 2
97% of the respondents indicated that it’s better to answer the phone with a quick apology, do your phone business
as quickly as you can, and then provide a quick summary of the conversation.
What do you think of this preferred action as opposed to the idea that the phone conversation is none of Deaf
person’s business and so you don’t owe them a quick summary?
I think that if it is something deeply personal that letting the Deaf person know that it is uncomfortable to share,
however it is polite to let them in on the conversation otherwise so that they do not feel left out or ignored.

Unit 10 - Exercise 10d

Please type your response. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor.
Question 1 of 1
When Amy’s mother was talking with her in the kitchen, Carol was left out of the conversation.
Have you ever been in a situation where you were left out because everyone in that environment spoke a different
language? Yes, my best friend’s family speaks mostly spanish.
How did that feel? It feels awkward, knowing people around you might mention you or catching onto one or two
words but overall it feels isolating.
Do you think this experience is similar to what Carol faced in the kitchen?
Maybe a little, however Amy made sure to let Carol in on what was happening so she would not feel as excluded.

Please type your response. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor.
Question 1 of 1
Why is it seen as impolite for hearing people (who can sign) to just speak without signing when there are Deaf
people in the room?
They are being inconsiderate and should use their knowledge to help them understand.

Unit 10 - Exercise 10f

Please type your response. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor.
Question 1 of 1
Describe your reaction to Amy’s fourth journal entry.
Amy seems to be more confident in her signing. She also worked through the issues with her mom from the last
journal, knowing that her mom is uncomfortable around Deaf people. I think Amy will find herself making more
Deaf friends and attending Deaf events in the future.

Unit 10 - Exercise 10g
by Thomas K. Holcomb and Anna Mindess, Copyright © 2017 Eye2Eye Productions
Please type your response. Then save and submit as directed by your instructor.
Question 1 of 1
Write a journal entry discussing your experience of being in a room with both Deaf people and non–signers.
More specifically, respond to the following questions:
Have you been in this kind of situation before? If so, how did you handle it?
How do you envision handling this kind of situation in the future if you continue to get more involved in the Deaf
community? One time I have knowingly experienced being in a room with both Deaf and hearing people is when I
volunteered for my High School’s Walk for Autism event, in which we set up booths and sensory activities for the
community to enjoy. A Deaf student entered the booth with my friend and I, and we were struggling to communicate
with him- neither of us knew any sign language other than the alphabet. I fingerspelled with the student and he asked
if we could type our conversation instead. This way both my friend and I could communicate better with the student.
Now, I would do things a bit differently. I know more ASL now than I did then, and I know more about the
mannerisms of the Deaf community. I would translate between sentences for my friend and the student, keeping
them both in the conversation and engaging both to participate, like how the phone call interpreter did with Amy and
Carol. This way we can all be a part of the conversation without feeling excluded.
