The semester is coming to a close, which means that I am finished with the TV show assignment for my Introduction to Broadcasting class. I only ended up making an actual video of the pilot, but plan to record the mini-lessons slated for each episode, and air them as a compilation, along with my ASL II. signed music presentation (from this past Monday), in the very near future...So, please, check back, soon. (You can, also, view my signing videos, as well as my singing performance videos on my YouTube channel...Starpy85 :-))
Peace!~

"Sign of the Times"-Episode #5.
Here is the script of the last regular episode of my webseries, "Sign of the Times"....(I will put the lesson footage up online, within the next week, or so).....

"Sign of the Times"-Episode #5. (05-06-10)
(All signing, and speaking by Kristin Star)
Introduction (signed and spoken): Hi, and welcome back to "Sign of the Times". I'm Kristin Star.
Discussion (partially signed, partially spoken): Today I'd like to talk about something a little less frivolous than entertainment.
As a student of ASL, I have learned that there are a lot of conflicts, within the Deaf community, and I find it very upsetting.
Within the Deaf world, there exists hatred towards hearing people, towards those Deaf individuals who wish to get cochlear implants, or hearing aids, or even those who choose to speak and sign.
Deaf actors have been ridiculed for speaking, when presenting in front of hearing audiences. Often times, the Deaf community, unfortunately acts as though people have to choose between the two worlds, rather than existing within both. However, there are some people who I believe are a good example of living within both worlds...Like Deanne Bray, star of "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye", and Emma on the most recent episode of "Heroes", who has been Deaf for her whole life, but in addition to communicating using ASL, speaks, and read lips. Her bi-lingual abilities are quite impressive, and her attitude towards people of both worlds is far healthier than that of most. She, and her husband, Troy are Deaf, but their daughter is hearing, as is Deanne's family.
ASL is a language, as is English...But, Deaf people in America have to function within the hearing world, to an extent...whether writing, or carrying out the business of day-to-day life (shopping, banking, etc.). Is someone learns a second language, like Spanish, I don't think that they are generally accused of being a traitor to their culture, as people often are, who communicate with both American Sign Language, and spoken English. If you could learn more than one language, and in doing so, communicate with more people, I don't see why you wouldn't want to.
There are those who would say that it's not my place to comment on that...But, hatred in any form is never good!
Video (from television): (Clip of "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye" where Sue talks about speaking and signing/pertinent subject-matter)
Lesson (spoken with signs being shown as taught): Today's ASL lesson is about descriptive adjectives, and careers.
[Teach the following signs...]
Cool
Beautiful
Dirty
Ugly
Soft-Hearted
Silly
Snobbish
Teacher
Student
Lawyer
Librarian
Engineer
Banker
Musician
Artist
Actor
Friend
Closing (partially signed, and partially spoken): This will be the last full episode of "Sign of the Times", but next week, there will be a compilation of all of the previous lesson material.
Thank you for joining me...Expand you ability to communicate...And, make a positive difference in the world!
I'm Kristin Star...Peace!
