16 lessons//16 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1ABC's and The Five Parameters of Sign LanguageWe will learn to sign the manual ASL alphabet as well as looking at the five most important parts to every sign.Week 2Lesson 2FingerspellingWe will learn what fingerspelling is, as well as how and when to use it.Week 3Lesson 3Game Day: "Fingerspell It!"During the course of the game, a word will be sent, privately through the chatbox, to each student. The student will then need to fingerspell that word for the rest of the class. The other students in class will then try to "read" and identify the word that has been fingerspelled. The sign(s) for the word(s) will be taught after they have been fingerspelled.Week 4Lesson 4Simple Sentence Structure, Greetings & FarewellsWe will learn the most basic form of sentence structure in ASL as well as learn some common greetings and farewells.Week 5Lesson 5Introduction to Numbers and AgeWe will learn to sign numbers 0-30 as well as talk about how to sign about age: "How old are you?" "I am __ years old."Week 6Lesson 6Game Day: "ASL Bingo"Students will be given individual bingo cards (sent to them at some point during the week before class). Students will either need to print this card out, copy it down onto a blank sheet of paper, or play directly off of their computer screen. Signs will be randomly chosen and signed to students. Students will then mark each sign, as it is signed, on their card until they acheive a BINGO.Week 7Lesson 7Family SignsWe will learn different family-related signs as well as how gender is visually depicted in American Sign Language.Week 8Lesson 8Animal SignsWe will learn various animal signs including both domestics and exotics.Week 9Lesson 9Game Day: "Alphabet Round Robin"For this game, students will randomly be given a letter of the alphabet and then asked to produce a sign which is connected to a word, starting with that letter. For example, if the student receives the letter "W", they might choose to sign "whale" or "water" or "what".Week 10Lesson 10Colors and EmotionsWe will learn color signs as well as emotion/feeling signs.Week 11Lesson 11Wh-Face & Wh-SignsWe will learn about the Wh-Face in sign language, how and when it is used as well signs for Wh-Words (question words: who, what, where, when, why & how).Week 12Lesson 12Game Day: "Two Truth and One Lie"Students will be asked to prepare three statements about themselves: two of the statements should be true and one should be a lie. They will sign their statements to class. After the statements are translated, which will be done as a class, each student will vote on which statement they think is untrue. It is a great way to get to know more about each other as well as to practice both expressive and receptive signing.Week 13Lesson 13Time SignsWe will learn various signs relating to time (i.e. Now, today, tomorrow, yesterday, day, week, month, year, days of the week, months of the year).Week 14Lesson 14Holidays & WeatherWe will learn different holidays (of various religions) as well as weather and temperature signs.Week 15Lesson 15Final Test Review Game: "ASL Jeopardy"Our last game day will be a review of all the things we have learned over the course of the last 14 weeks. This will be a prep for the final test the following week.Week 16Lesson 16Final TestThe final test for this course will take place through the Kahoot! app. Students will not need to have the Kahoot! app downloaded in order to take this test. The test will be administered by me (the teacher). The teacher (I) will be present for the entirety of the test.
- Learning outcomes will include the following: Demonstrate the use of basic ASL vocabulary and non-manual signals, form very basic sentences and questions, and understand a bit more about Deaf culture and the Deaf community.
I grew up with a Deaf family member. I learned the basics of American Sign Language at a very young age and found it incredibly helpful as I moved through childhood and into adulthood. I could communicate with other children who were clearly frustrated that no one either could or was willing to take the time and make the effort to interact with them. As an adult, I studied American Sign Language in college so that I could better communicate with the many Deaf and hearing impaired members of my community.

Handouts will be provided for students throughout the duration of the course.
Please be advised that pronouns and gender distinction are discussed during weeks 5 (personal & possessive pronouns) and 8 (family signs). Pronouns are a part of speech (I, you, he, she, them, we, yours, mine, ours) and these signs must be taught for fluency. In ASL, gender distinction is visual and dictated by the location of a sign. This is also a part of sign lagnuage that must be taught if a student wishes to learn to sign and read signs correctly. I understand that, for some, these may be sensitive topics, depending on beliefs and ideals. Please understand that I am not talking about how an individual identifies, but rather, discussing the signs for the pronouns "I" "she" "he," etc. That being said, my ASL courses are inclusive of all individuals. I expect my students to give one another the utmost respect during class and refer to each other using the pronoun(s) with which each student identifies.
