Do You Have Excellent
Student Work? YES!!
Send it to World Around You!
When the editor of World Around You, a five-times-a-year publication for
deaf and hard of hearing teens, saw the masks made by the students from
Texas, she snapped up the photos and changed a page of the magazine to
get them printed as soon as possible.
World Around You covers news of deaf and hard of hearing people, prints
letters from deaf teens seeking pen pals, and sponsors a yearly writing contest
in collaboration with the School of Human Services and Enrollment
Services at Gallaudet University. Every issue has a page devoted exclusively
to student work.
Published by the Laurent
Clerc National Deaf Education
Center at Gallaudet University,
World Around You has been read
and enjoyed by deaf and hard of
hearing teens for over 20 years.
Many teachers also subscribe to
World Around You-Teacher’s Guide.
This year the Teacher’s Guide
authors are Jane Nickerson and
Karen Kimmel, professors from
the English Department at
Gallaudet University in
Washington, D.C., and Jean
Andrews, a professor of Deaf
Education at Lamar University in
Texas.
“By publishing student work,
FROM WORLD AROUND YOU.
we want to provide an ongoing
forum to deaf and hard of hearing students,” said Susan Flanigan, of the
Clerc Center at Gallaudet University. “We want to encourage our students
to write, and to write for real reasons. We are always on the lookout for
other creative work as well, such as photos, drawings, and poetry.”
