Well, I just got back home from the 'Wiley and the Hairy Man' play and first and foremost, I must say that I was so proud of everybody signing. It was funny because I was sitting in the audience like five minutes before the play with Rachel and I told her I was so nervous for them and I didn't even have anything in it. But, everyone did sooo well with everything. It was awesome to be able to watch the signers for the whole play and to not have to miss anything going on onstage. It just makes you think how great it will be for the Deaf audience to watch the signers/actors the whole time. So, bravo everyone!
As for class, we watched some more videos today. We watched some that were sample for the old national testing and then some with kids. Both were I think harder than we're used to but it was good to see how the testing is. And, we find out again that kids are harder to read typically than adults. But, it is so interesting to see the differences. And again, everyone was nervous to try to voice but we really need to get over that. We've learned a bunch that most interpreters are usually a lot better at expressive than receptive. We need to break that mold. None of us are really skilled yet, I think we can generally agree on that, but we can keep improving on both sides of interpreting.
