Wow that's a long title. In teen book club this week we talked about the book The Boy at the Top of the Mountain by John Boyne. The book was pretty fantastic by everyone's opinion. Because Pierrot and his friend who is deaf speak sign language (French Sign Language to be exact) we learned a little Sign Language ourselves.
Using YouTube we watched several videos about useful terms in sign language as well as some videos on sign language for specific songs such as Carry On or We Are Young, both by FUN.
Overall the teens and I had a great time and can't wait until the next book club meeting where we are going to discuss All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely.
