clearly and easily, and feel proud about publishing and
sharing their work. It is also a place to put up pictures
of field trips or other links, which students can view,
reflect on and write about. In addition, it is a place where they can
post other media projects, such as videos or PowerPoint presentations. Carolyn

Website for Deaf Writers
http://faculty.lagcc.cuny.edu/slivings
This site features the best essays written by Deaf students
in their English 099 (Basic Writing) class. What is unique
about it is at selected parts of each student’s
essay, there is a place to click which automatically
pops up as a comment. The comment explains what element
of writing is done well in the next sentence or sentences.
These pop up features help students craft their essays
because they see exactly how the element of good writing
works in the context of a whole text. The
website is used each week in the writing class as an instructional
tool. Dreamweaver was used to create the site. Sue K.
