Course Objective: 
ASL 2 works to expand and build on ASL1 with Mrs. G. You will review vocabulary, grammar, and culturally appropriate uses of ASL through natural, everyday conversational situations. This course will encourage "your turn" activities. As an option, students can video themselves and interact with a bi-weekly video discussion post. No live meetings for this class.

Since ASL is a visual/gestural language, you will need to develop communication skills of which you are not accustomed: using one's hands, face, body, eyes and space. In order to progress, it is important that students become comfortable "listening" with their eyes. 

1. Bi-Weekly Video Discussion Posts: Student will be assigned engaging bi-weekly activities to show what they have learned. All student videos are optional. Teacher will interact with positive feedback on videos supporting student growth in class. 

2. Fingerspelling, Numbers and Core Vocabulary Review: Constant review of the vocabulary and regular practice of fingerspelling and numbers is critical to your progress in this course. You will be asked to review vocabulary regularly and perform "your turn" dialogues for practice and student interactive video post.

3. Receptive: To help you develop your receptive skills, students will be invited to Mrs. G’s exclusive Quizlets to review unit vocabulary. Quizlet is optional.

4. Expressive :  You will be asked to follow along with the posted video using "your turn". "Your turn" and the weekly video posts expressive activities are designed to help you learn what fluent ASL "feels" like.
