Final Project
For my final project, I am going to use hard of hearing or deaf books. The reason is because I want to become a teacher for deaf or hard of hearing students. I want to see what this genre of books has to offer for teachers and students in this area. I also want to see if authors' portray this topic in a positive or negative light. It will also be interesting to see the difference of how available this topic is in a well-known book story like Borders compared to Everybody Reads or even the internet. I know when searching the internet that I have already found a ton of books on this topic, although several of them are informational books about being deaf or hard of hearing. I also feel that I will buy these books instead of borrowing them for a library because it is something I have a passion for and would want in a library for my future students.

I think that's a great topic to research. It is becoming more and more prevalent in schools that their are children that have deaf or hard of hearing peers in their community. I would also be interested in the attitudes of the books, whether they were positive or negative. I'm also curious how many classrooms today include this important aspect of children's literature.
