Blog Post #3 - A Few Minutes in the Life of an ASL Interpreter

 http://www.aslnetwork.com/sites/aslnetwork/images/user/homepage/flash_static.jpg



NOTE - Some of the videos in this series contain offensive language. We do not condone the use of this language in class, and this is an extension of the classroom. We hope you can look past this aspect because these videos are good for discussion.

The following video is made to show difficulties with interpreters in situations through a humorous fashion.  Its purpose is to entertain and inform.

What did you think? While the video is funny, and it's meant to be, the uploader and creator is an ASL Interpreter who bases the videos off of her experiences. She just adds her commentary to the overall concept.

Post your comments below concerning the following questions?

1. Why is an interpreter making these videos? What is her message?
2. What does it say about the divide between hearing and Deaf culture?
3. What other thoughts do you have about this video?
