In this one time class, I will introduce a Deaf Culture art form: ABC Stories. We will view examples from Deaf performers available on YouTube (the playlist will be available in the class page) and learn the ASL ABC handshapes which are used in the stories. Students will engage in peer-ed discussion, lecture, and video examples from YouTube. We will create our own class story as a group. No prior knowledge of ASL is required, but it is helpful to know the fingerspelling alphabet prior to the class. If time allows, we will cover 1,2,3 stories and watch additional examples of the art form. In addition, I will provide a playlist of additional examples and a homework page to be completed after class.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the American Sign Language Alphabet Handshapes (one element of ASL Phonology)
Students will gain an understanding of how the language uses handshapes and movement to create and play with the language (much like Hearing culture uses songs, chants, and nonsense sounds).
Students will collaborate to create a unique class story that uses these elements of ASL.Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be watching a video that mentions the events of the sinking of the Titanic, this may be a sensitive topic for some students. If parents have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.
Supply List
A one page handout with the ASL ABC handshapes will be provided, but more useful will be a video showing how the alphabet is produced. The video will clarify elements that are hard to see in a photograph. It will be extremely helpful to watch and practice the alphabet prior to class.
2 files available upon enrollment
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
A YouTube playlist of ABC Stories will be made available as well as a written homework assignment.
