Davis, Julia M. Our Forgotten Children: Hard of Hearing Pupils in the Schools. Washington, DC: Office of
Special Institutions, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, U.S. Department of
Education, 1990. Print.
A guide for both teachers and administrators on the education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing
students. The text also provides guidance tips and support services for the school personnel,
and stresses the importance of teacher training. One of the chapters emphasizes mainstreamed
education for this group. I might use this as a source because it presents itself from the
administrative side of education, which is a viewpoint I had not thought of including before.
Jepson, Jill Christine. No Walls of Stone: An Anthology of Literature by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Writers.
Washington, D.C.: Gallaudet UP, 1992. Print.
A collection of poetry, drama, short stories, and essays by both Deaf and Hard of Hearing writers
on their experiences with hearing loss. This volume presents a rich variety of superb work by
such well-known authors as Robert Panara, Anne McDonald, David Wright, and Jack Clemo, and
exciting contributions by other previously unpublished, gifted writers
(http://gupress.gallaudet.edu/2855.html). I would use this as a source because of the fact that
the authors are d/Deaf and Hard of hearing themselves, which makes for the best
representation of that population. It would also give me personal insight as to how to write
about my own hearing loss and in a way, become a writer on disability.
Kress, Gunther R. Multimodality: A Social Semiotic Approach to Contemporary Communication. London:
Routledge, 2010. Print.
In this book, Gunther Kress presents a contemporary, distinctive and widely applicable
approach to communication. He provides the framework necessary for understanding the
attempt to bring all modes of meaning-making together under one theoretical roof (back of
book). This book discusses meaning and how it is made through various mediums such as signs. I
would use this as a source for my thesis because it has, in my opinion, the best explanation of
what sound is, which provides the perfect contrast to what ASL is, so it would be an educating
moment for my audience.
Mahshie, Shawn Neal. Educating Deaf Children Bilingually: With Insights and Applications from Sweden
and Denmark. Washington, D.C.: Pre-College Programs, Gallaudet University, 1995. Print.
This book looks at deaf education from the bilingual standpoint that is used in Scandinavia; how
the system was implemented gradually into Swedish and Danish law, and how it has become
interwoven with mainstreamed society. It represents the ideal means of educating the Deaf. I
would use this as a source for my thesis because of its idyllic representation and as a model that
the United States should start implementing into society. I would use this to show that an ideal
form of deaf education is possible and is proven to work.
Marschark, Marc, Harry G. Lang, and John A. Albertini. Educating Deaf Students: From Research to
Practice. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2002. Print.
With dramatic changes in deaf education over the past 30 years, this book considers what we
now know, what we do not know, and what we should know about the education of deaf students.
Taking a developmental perspective, the authors look first at the history of deaf education, and then at
education as it begins at home and in the classroom, encompassing discussion about reading, American
Sign Language, and school choice they clearly evaluate deaf education, explaining complex information

in a way that is useful to a wide range of readers involved in deaf education, from parents and day care
providers to elementary, high-school, and college teachers and other education professionals
(http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/educating-deaf-students-marcmarschark/1100501204?ean=9780195121391). I was going to use this as a foundational source, but
found the information to be facts I already knew a good deal about; while it was published in the early
2000s, I found a different source that offered current information on the same topics.
