Hi guys!
This is Sarah. I will be running this for the time being, until CS has a little bit more time on her hands (which is never... so this is my little project!) Ha! I'm very excited and running a blog is one of my favorite things. I think it's really fun and it is a way for all of us to connect and to have resources for the class and for our personal use readily available. That being said, this blog is for you guys. I really need some input on things you want to see on here, things you would like me to improve upon, whatever! Like CS said in class, giving me a thumbs up and a pat on the back wont get us anywhere! So, if you have any ideas and want to leave them in the comments section, I would be ever so grateful. But really. Please help me out here!
This week's videos are forthcoming, and the homework is already listed in the homework section. I hope you are all having a wonderful week!
Always,
Sarah

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course
provides an
introduction to:
A. American Sign
Language (ASL), the
language used by the Deaf community in the United States and by those with whom they
interact.
B. The culture of the U.S. Deaf community.
Students will
develop beginning receptive and expressive skills in ASL, involving such areas
as number usage, basic time and money concepts, fingerspelling, and basic
questions, statements, and negations.
This class is conducted in ASL with supplemental mime, drawing,
etc.
REQUIRED TEXTS AND SUPPLIES:
Smith, C., Lentz, E., and
Mikos, K. (2008). Signing Naturally, Student Workbook. San
Diego, CA: DawnSign Press. (Units
1-6)
1 inch
3 ring binder with paper for note taking
COURSE EXPECTATIONS:
This
class will require that you turn your voices off at appropriate times. I have
decided not to make this a full immersion class being that it is an
introductory class. Colored nail polish, low cut shirts, heavy jewelry, heavily patterned
shirts, or other visually
distracting items are a form of visual noise in the signing community and will make it
difficult to see and understand your signs. Please be sensitive of this when
attending class. Even though this is not a for-credit class I will treat it as
though it is and will take my role as a teacher and your role as a student very
seriously. This will be a very relaxed and fun environment but at the same time
I expect that you will leave with as thorough an understanding of ASL and Deaf
Culture as an 8 week class will allow.
