I added a new section to Child of deaf adult called: "Interpreting opportunities available to CODAs"
I added a sentence from this source: The qualifier that makes CODAs so unique and talented in the interpreting field is that CODAs have been "parented" by a Deaf adult. A substantial and intentional relationship was forged amidst the two cultures which is an experience unique to CODAs. The cost of invisibility codas and the sign language interpreting profession

I decided to work on the article: Child of deaf adult

I added my plans for this article to the talk page;

I am researching more on this topic and am looking to add to this article in any ways possible. My focus will be on the intercultural communication that is faced by CODA's and their parents. I will also be looking at exploring what opportunities are available to CODAs because of their unique set of experiences and talents. I believe that being a CODA is a special gift; I wish to bring that out in this article. I will be using information from these sources:

• SHEPPARD K, BADGER T. The lived experience of depression among culturally Deaf adults. Journal Of Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing [serial online]. November 2010;17(9):783-789. Available from: Academic Search Premier Depression among culturally Deaf adults
• CODA international's main website coda-international.org
• An article in the New York Times called THE FAMILY; CHILDREN OF DEAF SHARE THEIR LIVES by Glenn Collins The Family; Children of Deaf Share Their Lives
• A web article titled: 7 Ties That Bind all Children of Deaf Adults (CODA) 7 Ties That Bind all Children of Deaf Adults (CODA)
• Deaf Family Issues: CODAS and Identity, an article by Thomas H. Bull of Gallaudet University Deaf Family Issues: CODAS and Identity

If anyone has suggestions of other sources they think would be benefical to my research, please feel free to share! Marina Chapman (talk) 08:58, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

I created a new section called "Interpreting opportunities available to CODAs" and in this new section I added:

While being a CODA does not necessarily mean the person is fluent in both English and American Sign Language, over sixty percent of CODAs are taught ASL as a first language and become fluent. Because of this many CODAs have the opportunity to become interpreters. They are already equipped with the skills and experience necessary. CODAs also tend to understand the importance of being able to interpret accurately and recognize the potential severity of inaccurate interpretation. CODAs that have been raised dually in both the hearing and deaf cultures have the experience of understanding the cultural habits of both cultures and can be sensitive to those. The qualifier that makes CODAs so unique and talented in the interpreting field is that CODAs have been "parented" by a Deaf adult. A substantial and intentional relationship was forged amidst the two cultures which is an experience unique to CODAs. Marina Chapman (talk) 15:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Peer Reveiw Comments

Hello Marina! I took time to look over your article and contributions. I was really impressed with the information, citations and organization. It was also neat to get a perspective on the Deaf Community. I have a few suggestions about enhancing your site. You have a lot of terms or names of people that seem pretty important and I think it would be a good idea to make more internal links out of these words that lead to different wikipedia pages. Words like ASL, Millie Brother, Camp Mark Seven, Camp Grizzly, etc. The more internal links you have the better, so people who are curious about other related topics can go directly to their page. Also think about making direct links to pages of other organizations referred so a user can get directly connected to them! Hope this helps.

Hey Marina! great article. It is very interesting. I suggest that you add a little more to the last sentence describing the culture. "A substantial and intentional relationship was forged amidst the two cultures which is an experience unique to CODAs." It is a little unclear about what you are refferring to. Other than that, great job on your wikipedia assignments!Heatherc43 (talk) 17:37, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Marina- The definition is very well written and clear. I love that it discusses the challenges and support organizations for CODAs. It not only tells people what a CODA is, but gives CODAs support and provides them with a place that they can get further support. The interpreting opportunities available to CODAs also adds a special touch at the end of the article. It gives readers a positive outlook on CODAs and allows people to understand the impact they can have. The references, links, and structure all looks great! Way to go!

I looked over User talk:Haleyhook's article and reviewed the additions she has made to them. I left her this feedback on her talk page: Hey Haley I really enjoyed reading your revisions to this page. I think there was such truth to the information about conflict being such fluid concept. I liked the quote talking about "naming, framing, and taming" the issue. That's exactly what needs to be done! Identify issues, look at the context, and then work on solving it. I think that you made a great deal of headway on giving this article some substance and applaud you for that!

I looked over User talk:Heatherc43's article and reviews the additions she has made to them. I left this feedback on her page: Hey Heather I was so impressed by the overall layout of the article and how much information was on the page. I thought that your additions to the Taxonomies section of the article were very helpful. My only suggestions would be to make sure that your tone matches of writing matches the overall tone of he article. Other that that great job! Marina Chapman (talk) 18:23, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I reviewed the article as a whole again and checked to see if any others who were working on the article had made any suggestions about my edits to the article. I then went in and made some minor edits to my section to improve the content and make it sound like a more complete thought/section. The expanded versions can be found here Child of deaf adult in the section titled: Interpreting opportunities available to CODAs.

I also chose to review and give feedback to Haleyhook about her article on Cultural conflict as well as Heatherc43 about her article on Face negotiation theory.

I heeded the advice of my peers who took the time to review my article and cleared up some ambiguous phrases and further explained a few things about deaf culture. I appreciate all the feedback and hope that it will improve my topic of Child of deaf adult.

Well done. Glad to see all of the work you have done. Hope you keep it up. Ajungle (talk) 15:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
