INTRODUCTION
Activity 1: Teaser Video
 
In this video, we learn the basics of the
story, “Charlotte’s Web” without going in
depth into what happens. Students will use
this video to get an idea of how the story
will go, and it will hopefully provide just
enough information to entice them to read
the book.

MEET YOUR STORYTELLER
Avonne Brooker-Rutowski
My Bio:
I was born Deaf to Deaf parents and mainstreamed in a public school without a certified
interpreter for five years, so I can relate well to a lot of students who attend public schools.
After graduation, I attended Gallaudet University and graduated with a BA in Psychology,
followed by a Masters degree in Deaf Education at McDaniel College. I concluded my
higher education work at Gallaudet Leadership Institute with an Education Specialist
degree. Right after graduate school, I started my first job as a preschool teacher at Texas
School for the Deaf (TSD) and taught there for eight years. I then became the Principal in
TSD's Elementary School for five wonderful years and was later appointed as Director of
Instruction. With 20+ years of experience in Deaf Education, I am now enjoying my fifth
year as an Outreach Program Specialist where I am a contributing member to the future
generations of deaf and hard of hearing children. I am also on the American Society of
Deaf Children's board as vice president. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy working with
families in Texas. 
I live in Austin with my husband and two children. Both my husband and daughter are Deaf
and my son is a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult). 
Fun Facts About Me:

◦ I am 6th generation Deaf and 2nd generation Canadian.
◦ I am somewhat scared of cats, even though I have one as a pet.
◦ I love hockey more than football and prefer the mountains and ocean over
the forest.
◦ I love to drink tea with milk and enjoy drinking a bit of warm milk before
going to bed.
◦ I am not afraid of scorpions and I love to eat snails!
◦ I have over 100 pairs of shoes and lots more books!
My Favorite Books:
◦ Love You Forever by Robert Munsch
◦ The Three Billy Goats Gruff
