----- Original Message ----- From: naomi epstein - naomiepstein@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students Since the new school year is "right around the corner", I would like to draw your attention to the following: 1) I have a new, easy to remember, email address for all counseling questions: naomi.shema@xxxxxxxxx (I DO reply to letters sent to my old address as well). 2) On the ETNI site: http://www.etni.org.il/hearing.htm you will find a FAQ page related to the BAGRUT exam. Please note that this page doesn't include details of the allowances because not every pupil with a hearing loss is entitled to the same allowances - it depends on the severity of the hearing problem. This information is given on an individual basis. On the site you will also find information on various issues related to teaching English to these children. 3) New - I have a new website for my deaf and hard of hearing students at Yehud Comprehensive High-School which is designed to be useful for "Shema" students who study in regular classrooms as well. Under "document library" there is a category for each module and I have uploaded worksheets and ANSWER SHEETS. Under "links" pupils will find different self practice sites. Material will be added frequently. There is link to this website from the ETNI site. Here is the direct link: http://www.bloust.com/lakash Best wishes for a great school year! Naomi Epstein "Shema" counselor for English for the deaf and hard of hearing. ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
