This month I had the opportunity to present Traits of a Hero to a deaf class. I had some good student participation which was nice. Here is a short list of things I want to remember for future such events.

1. It is very important to have a good working mike system so that the students can hear me.
2. Sometimes there is a wide range of ages in the same class and an older student may not feel as comfortable participating in a skit ad a younger child would be.
3. Some with my own set of batteries of a mix of setups so that I can contribute them in case they are needed.
4. I may need to touch a child’s shoulder to get their attention, if they can’t hear me.
5. Sometimes if a child gets divert doing an activity that may not have their attention centered to me for the next activity.
6. I need to remember to not talk too quickly so that the younger aged children have a chance to process what I’ve said.
7. I believe my stories were appropriate for the age range of the class but I need to have stable stories in case a change is ever needed on the fly.
8. Kids seemed to enjoy being different parts of a storm: boat, waves, wind, and lightening.
