Topic:
In Module 1:Unit 1, we learned about the Face-to-Face Tradition. In this tradition, we
find three important elements: The Teller, the Tale, and the Audience.
Choose one Teller from the various Deaf storytellers that you have been introduced to
through this class and write about the following: (Teller must be Deaf)
1. Who is the Teller, what is the person’s background, how did they become a “smooth
signer”, did they utilize formal or informal training, how did they get started?
2. What Tale or Tales does this specific Teller usually share? What venue is used to
share this Tale? What genre does this tale fit into? What themes are often
incorporated into the Tales that are shared? Through the Tales that you have chosen
what are (or might be) the Teller’s goals?
3. What did the Teller’s audience usually comprise of? Deaf only? Hearing only? Both
groups? What type of information did you find about the audiences that the Teller
usually attended? Did the teller get feedback from the audience? How did this
feedback affect the Teller’s adjustments to the audience?
