Class Experience

Beginner Level
Would you like to learn American Sign Language through activity-based instruction? Learning through interactive games is a great way to pick up a language. That's why this entire class will be centered around ASL games. For this online class students will learn the basics of fingerspelling, several beginners' signs, and a bit about deaf culture through friendly competitions and group activities. 

Below is a rundown of how this one-time class will operate. The class will be split into 15-minute quarters with five minutes at the beginning and end for introductions and reflections/wrap up. 

First 5 minutes - Introductions
Next 5-min - We will go over the basics of American Sign Language and its surrounding culture. 
Second 10-min quarter - We will go over how to fingerspell the alphabet and introduce yourself in ASL.
Third 10-min quarter - We will play a game pertaining to fingerspelling the alphabet.
Fourth 10-min quarter - We will play a final game to review the day's lesson content. 
Last 5 minutes - Reflections/Class wrap-up

Learning Goals

Students will learn to fingerspell the entire ASL alphabet and basic greeting signs. Students will also gain knowledge on common practices in the deaf community pertaining to their visual language.

Supply List
Welcome! I'm excited that you joined this class. To ensure the best signing experience for everyone, please be sure to join the class meeting from a distraction free environment with your camera set up to capture the top of your head down to five inches above your waist. Please also refrain from using distracting virtual backgrounds and if possible, blur, as it can compromise the ability to effectively read fingerspelling. During our introductions, remember to keep your private information private. For example, no last names, home cities, or gaming handles! I'd also love for you to share any background or questions you have in this topic area. I can't wait to see you in class!

As a reminder, when posting in the classroom remember to follow the Outschool guidelines to be kind, safe, and respectful: https://static.outschool.com/Outschool+Participation+Guidelines.pdf

I have a communicative level of ASL, having been exposed to the language from the age of 2. I skipped my community college's first level ASL course due to my prior experience and took my first college level ASL at Community College of Philadelphia. For the past three years, I have been teaching ASL to 6-12-year-olds at a homeschool co-op. I continue with my involvement in the deaf community by regularly attending deaf meetups and events.
