Introducción a la gramática y la estructura de oraciones del lenguaje de señas

Each lesson we will focus on a different sentence type or structure. We will learn how to translate simple sentences from English to ASL. Then we will add additional components of language such as negatives, modal verbs, question markers, and time. We will end the course learning about two common structures used regularly in ASL. 

We will begin each class covering the grammar rule. For the first class, we will have a quick lesson on writing in ASL. Then as a class we will translate sentences together. Next, students will be given a practice to complete. We will then come back as a class and review our work together. Finally, students will demonstrate their learning by creating their own sentences, translating them to ASL, and sharing their work with the class. 

For this course, the class session is broken down into four parts. The first part students will listen to me teach the grammar rule. They may take notes, ask questions, and if they want involve themselves when I ask the whole class questions. The next section, we will work together as a class. During this session, I will call randomly on students to check for their understanding of the lesson. The last two sections, students will independently. I will be there to answer questions students may have, however, students are not required to ask any. Students can listen in to their peer's questions, but they can also take a moment to complete their task, independently. Also during these sections, we will come back together as a class and share our work. During this time, students are expected to share their work with the class. However, students can decide how to share their work. They can show their work to the camera, unmute and explain their work to the class, or attempt to type their work into chat. I am flexible in how students want to interact with their peers.
