American Sign Language I
We are very excited about ASL and Deaf culture. Some of us are in this class because we know someone who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing, and we want to be able to communicate with them. Some of us are curious about American Sign Language. Some of us already know some American Sign Language, but want to learn more.
Here are some of the ideas we will explore and discuss this year:
Introducing ourselves and our families
Months and days of the week
Yes/No questions verses Wh-questions
Non-grammatical markers
Morning routines
Concepts of Deaf culture and ASL grammar
Food
Handicapped verses Cultural perspectives on Deafness
Modified meaning: signs and adjectives
Household signs
Visually modified Deaf households
