Signing Notes:
The phrase “Can phone you?” means "Are
you physically able to use the phone?"
(It is a deaf thing. Most hearies
think that phrase means, "Can I call you?" But that isn't what
this phrase means.)
Suppose two Deaf are at a party…one of them might ask the other “Can phone
you?” He or she is probably trying to find out the level of the other
person’s hearing and/or to find out if the other person is able to make
phone calls. It depends on the context. If it is near the end of the
party and the person is looking for a way to get home he may need to call
his (Hearing) mom for a ride.
Those that don't speak on a phone can still make use of the phone system by
using a TTY. But use of a TTY
is becoming rare due to text messaging via cell phones.
Curriculum notes:
The phrase "Tell me about your teacher" is good practice for this vocabulary
list, but please know that there are other ways to express this. For
example, eventually you will learn: "YOUR TEACHER, EXPLAIN HE/SHE.
LOOK-LIKE? WHAT-DO?"
Story 11
I LIKE READ. CAN'T STOP ME. ALWAYS READ, READ, ANYTHING. WATCH TV, I NEVER. SOMETIMES PEOPLE CALL-TO-ME CHAT. I TYPE, (bodyshift left)-READ, (bodyshift front) READ, TYPE, (bodyshift left)-READ. FATHER he-SEE-me, MAKE HIM ANGRY. I THINK, FOR FOR HE MAD? I CAN BOOK AND TTY.
Here is an English interpretation of the story:
"I like to read. I just can't stop reading. I'm always reading anything. I never watch TV. Sometimes people call me on the tty to chat. I read while chatting on the TTY! This makes my Dad angry. I don't know why he gets mad about it since I can do both at the same time!"
More details:
Dad is mad because he thinks I should pay attention to the TTY and not try to do both at the same time.
This June (2008) will be time to re-do (change) that story anyway since many deaf are now using VP and texting rather than TTY's. So, we can simply change the story and insert a better story to keep the curriculum modern.
