Movement to the side

[Gagnon et Thibeault]

Hi Val, Adam, Stefan and everyone,

    It is interesting that Deaf students talked about a front view and a top view.

    See my attached diagram.  This is my writing (A) (DEFENDRE (French) = INTERDICT (English).  Deaf students are confused to read it because they stopped reading and figured out it.  Several Deaf students explained that the two hands are parallel with the front wall (front view), and the movement to the side with the single-stemmed arrows is viewed from the floor (top view).   They suggested that the two hands are parallel with the front wall (front view), and the movement to the side with the double-stemmed arrows is viewed from the front wall (front view) (See the attached diagram (B) because Deaf students read it easily (the same front view).  They told Deaf teacher if they use the two hands which are parallel with the floor, they use the movement to the side with the single-stemmed arrows whhich is viewed from the floor (top view) (See the attached diagram (C).  They don't want to use (D) since they aren't conformtable to read it.


    I can't believe that Deaf students understand a concept of the front view and the top view.

    I adopt Deaf students'proposal.

    Regards,

    André
