Class Experience

Welcome to my class: Let's Chat in ASL!

We will begin class with basic introductions. Students will be permitted to share either a sign or sentence that they already know.

After introductions, we will briefly talk about how American Sign Language is a different language than English. We will mention how ASL has its own grammar, sentence structure etc.

I will use a Powerpoint presentation as I teach. We will look at some sentence examples.

We will practice making sentences with the correct ASL structure: Time, topic, comment.

I will have students practice these sentences:
- My name is...(My, name...)
- I like dogs etc. (Dogs, I like.)
- I live in the United States. (I, USA, live.)
- I am 8 years old. (I, age, 8.)
- I have school tomorrow. (Tomorrow, school, I have.)
- My favorite color is blue etc. (My color, favorite, blue.)

We will take turns signing these sentences.

Next, we will have a review time. I will ask the students some questions from our lesson. 

I look forward to seeing you in my class!

Learning Goals

Students will learn the basic structure for forming sentences in American Sign Language.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Trinity Baptist College
I have been signing now for almost 12 years. In college (2009-2014), I had a deaf roommate. That caused me to pursue fluency in sign language. Even though I got my degree in Elementary Education, I took ASL classes all during college. Along with that, I completely immersed myself in the world of the Deaf. I attended a deaf church, deaf camps, and several interpreter conferences. Along with all of that, I learned most by spending every moment of my free time with many interpreters and deaf friends. I  would go to deaf activities such as game nights and Starbucks meets with my local deaf community. 

After college, I received my Florida interpreter certification and worked as a sign language interpreter for several years. I interpreted for college classes, church, chapel services, staff meetings, video relay services, concerts, appointments, training etc. I also taught sign language to high-school students for 3 years. At times, I have also taught elementary students at schools, camps, and churches. Some classes were one-time classes while other classes lasted for one week. I am currently teaching a deaf children's class at my church. I also have many deaf friends that I communicate with on a regular basis.
