Teacher's Guide to Deaf Proverbs

This 264-page Teacher's Guide to Deaf Proverbs devotes one page to each of the 242 proverbs in the original Deaf Proverbs book. To make your job as a teacher a bit easier, each proverb's page number is the same in both the book and the guide so that students and you as their teacher will, figuratively and literally, be "on the same page!"

The guide has a section on proverbs' inherent and stylistic features along with their definitions and examples, such as alliteration, metaphor, personification, rhyme and simile.

Also, the guide offers a listing of Internet resources that can help supplement your teaching on proverbs and a listing of ideas for classroom activities.

Teacher's Guide to Deaf Proverbs can be used, as part of your curriculum, to teach English and Deaf culture to deaf and hearing students in high schools as well as at colleges and universities. This guide also provides plenty of "food for thought" for discussion and analysis in Deaf Studies and Sign Language courses.
