Brazoswood students <\/p>\n
sign on for new skill set <\/p>\n
There are a lot of positive signs at Brazoswood High School. And many
\nof them are coming out of teacher Barry Darrell\u2019s classroom. <\/p>\n
Darrell, who is deaf, teaches an American Sign Language course that
\nnot only trains students in the mechanics of \u201cspeaking\u201d with their
\nhands and facial expressions, but also explores the culture of the
\ndeaf world and how it relates to that of the hearing. <\/p>\n
Apparently, he is good at what he does. The students at Brazoswood
\ncertainly consider him an asset. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s pretty cool and he\u2019s pretty funny, too,\u201d freshman Derek
\nD\u2019Arcangeli told The Facts. \u201cOver the past two weeks I have
\nlearned quite a bit. He\u2019s a pretty good teacher.\u201d <\/p>\n
Senior Kristen Gary, who is Darrell\u2019s assistant, echoes that
\nsentiment. \u201cHe\u2019s a very good teacher,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s funny
\nand energetic and the kids enjoy him.\u201d <\/p>\n
Darrell imparts his valuable knowledge with the use of worksheets, a
\ndemonstration board and \u2014 most effectively \u2014 by getting his
\nstudents actively involved in the classroom where one is apt to see
\nhands waving, fingers flying and faces contorting into every
\nconceivable emotion at any given time of the day. <\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that my students will learn new things about the deaf
\nculture and the differences between American Sign Language and
\nEnglish,\u201d Darrell said. <\/p>\n
Brazoswood students are lucky to have someone on campus who can
\nintroduce them to that mysterious realm, and teach them a practical
\nskill at the same time. <\/p>\n
