The ASL teacher at the school for the deaf has been holding a workshop all week for students who are learning ASL. One of the projects he had them due this past Tuesday, was to go to the Mall (they go with another student as a Mentor), they will go up to a salesperson and start signing to them, turning off their voices, as these students are hearing. The Mentors found this to be very fascinating, as it not only enhanced the student to improve in their signing, it also brings awareness to the hearing community, that they need to learn to sign too, as there are so many deaf people that shop,but find it hard to communicate with hearing sales associates. I know this may not be in line with what you were talking about in your thread, but, I thought I would add this in, as I thought that was amazing.
