You will be learning part 5/6 of American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary, including proper ASL. We will play games and do fun activities, while learning! Some pages will be screenshot to show materials connected to the lessons. Each 55 minute class will involve vocabulary, and knowledge about ASL and the Deaf community, including Deaf history and about Deaf culture. There will be plenty of review each week. We will watch some short videos and discuss them in class, related to the information being taught.  

This is a very interactive class between teacher and all learners. It is important to have your camera on and your face and upper body visible, so the teacher and fellow learners can see everyone signing. ASL is a visual language!  Zoom chat will also be utilized for communication. 

More focus will be on expressive signing by students in proper ASL.

APPROXIMATELY what we will do week by week....I will work at the speed of the learners, so it might fluctuate a bit: 

Week 1 and 2 
More on classifiers, time, time spot, start and finish, Deaf standard time, beginnings and endings, multiple meanings  review
