This week we have been listening to the work of Raymond Antrobus. The class have discussed his work as a poet and we were particularly impressed by clips about his response to the hearing world.
After watching the poem, ‘The First Time I Wore Hearing Aids’ we talked about the hearing and the deaf world and how isolating it must be with everyone wearing facemasks if you are trying to lipread.
His poem, ‘I Want the Confidence of’ inspired us to write our own.
After reading them think about what you lack
and what you want.
