On Wednesday, September 18, 2013, Rochester School for the Deaf (RSD) welcomed Ms. Lizzie Sorkin, Director of Communications at the National Association of the Deaf. Ms. Sorkin joined Ms. Sarah Gordon's 4th grade class for one of their International Week of the Deaf (IWD), September 23-27, activities. Students are in the process of planning their own Deaf Awareness Week of activities to coincide with IWD. Ms. Gordon, Ms. Sorkin and students discussed the list of activity ideas that students brainstormed earlier. A goal was to come up with the final list of activities and assign task assignments to each student. Ms. Sorkin helped students to visualize each Deaf Awareness Week activity in order to determine if it was achievable given the time and tasks required.
