Event Details
Children’s literature often presents challenges in vocabulary, descriptive language, and the use of nonsense or gibberish words. This workshop will allow participants to look at bodies of children’s literature text that are traditionally established in content, context, and tone. As well as the obstacles in translation that comes with these traditional elements. This workshop will provide you with the tools to translate text into ASL without sacrificing content, while preserving the fun and linguistic integrity of children’s literature.
Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of this workshop, the participants will be able to:
1) Analyze the content of bodies of children’s literature text that incorporate challenging contextual formats of English
2) Translate given bodies of children’s literature text into ASL parameters without strong reliance on only signed English vocabulary
3) To recognize and apply the integrity of the material provided while translating it into clear and concise visual information
4) Challenge traditional mental and linguistic obstacles in translating children’s literature.
