Hello, everyone. Welcome. I’m Bill Newell. Ready to take the quiz? Let’s see how much you know about Deaf Culture. When you finish and get your results, I’ll see you again. Good luck!
This quiz began as a single staff email. As principal of the Washington School for the Deaf, Dr. William (Bill) Newell sent a weekly "Deaf Culture Question of the Week" — word spread to parents, then teachers statewide, then Deaf community members and interpreters across the country. Six years and hundreds of questions later, the very best of them are being collected into one book — and this quiz gives you a first look.
Two questions from each chapter — how many can you get right?
