 * **c. Artifact #1/ Reflective Statement**

This artifact represents a lesson that revolves around direct instruction with an individual student. The instruction of this lesson will be taught to the student by the Itinerant teacher. This lesson is part of a unit entitled, "What Is Deafness". Prior to this lesson, the student discussed the history of deafness and read related poems written by deaf individuals and discussed how it relates to the student's hearing loss. The emphasis on this lesson is to describe what is deafness, the degrees, the causes of deafness, and language that is used by deaf students. This lesson is designed to provide the student with a brief description of the meaning of deafness, the four types of hearing loss: conductive, sensorineural, mixed, and central, and the degress of hearing loss as mild, moderate, severe, or profound. It also will introduce the student to the languages of the deaf/hearing impaired as speech only, speech with sign language, and sign langauge only. Speechreading may be added to all of the above options. Also, the student will view a short media power point presentation on sign language. Later in the unit, the student will learn how the ear works, identify and explain the parts of the ear and how sound travels, audiograms, decibels, and frequencies will be introduced to continue with the topic of what is deafness. Viewings of short media presentations on the ear and the audiogram from an online site will offer additional information to assist with the lesson. The student will view the power point presentation on the topic of sign language. The student will be given the opportunity to learn sign alphabet and basic everyday sign words. Each section will be introduced separately and the instructor will observe the student's knowledge of the subject before moving on to the next subject in the lesson/unit. The Hearing Impaired Educator will address any questions immediately offering assistance to the student who may be having difficulty with the understanding of the topic or may need additional facts related to the topic. It is important to be flexible and allow for additional time. **Length of presentation**: The length of the demonstration will be approximately 30 minutes with additional time allotted, if needed. The overall lesson was a success. The student followed along at the same pace as the teacher, no additional assistance was needed for the student. Additional session time was needed to complete the session. The feedback for the student was consistant with the planned activities provided with the lesson. The length of the presentation was executed as planned. The student as always was very attentive.
