 Student Activities

Monday: Students will complete a worksheet as well as write five sentences dealing with the vocabulary presented in today’s class.

Tuesday: Students will pair up into groups of two and using all vocabulary learned in the chapter so far they will write a conversation between two people. Each "person" will be required to respond in the conversation no less than seven times. *Additional note: greetings that begin the conversation such as "hi" and "what's up?" will not count as a response.

Wednesday: Students will watch the video "Through Deaf Eyes" which will be accompanied with a worksheet that will consist of questions about the video that students will be required to respond to using proper sign language grammar.

Thursday: Students will pair up into groups of two and have a conversation incorporating the vocabulary learned in this unit as well as previous units. After twenty minutes students will stop conversations and find a new partner with whom they will communicate with for the rest of class.

Friday: Students will be assigned a person from another sign language class from another school with whom they will communicate with between one and two times a month during class. This arrangement will be similar to having a "pen pal" except that instead of writing letters back and forth the students will communicate using video chat sessions. Students will be required to learn all about their "video pal" for a future project.
