They will need to research and find the meanings of ASL signs, and review them. Alternatively, they may have to finish a Kahoot or Nearpod activity.Assessment
This is optional but key to seeing their progress, I will offer assessments to keep track of the learner's progress.Letter Grade
If a student would like grades and has completed the assessments, I will provide a course grade at the end of 5 weeks. I recommend achieving at least 80% in this class to do well in ASL 2. 90-100 = A 80-89 = B 70-79 = CClass Experience
