Week 29

This week we watched a movie called "See What I Mean." It was about the cultural differences between the hearing and deaf communities. We had to write a paper on it which is due next week. We also have to e-mail a short summary of what we learned on the internet about deaf culture and send it to our teacher. We also have to study "Bubblegum" which we have to sign to her for our final. In modern we did our morning stretches and warm ups and added to our combination.

Week 28

This week in American Sign Language we practiced our numbers and currency signs. We are having a game where we need to bring in a prize and people have to guess the exact price of the prize without knowing what's inside the bag. I've developed a deeper understanding and knowledge of what it's like to be a deaf person in a hearing world. When I went to the deaf coffee chat, I knew what they felt like being hearing and having no idea what others around me are signing.
 In modern dance we are learning a new combination. It's the funnest one in my opinion because I like the music it goes to and it all weaves together nicely. 

Week 27 4/5/13

This week in ASL we studied new chapters in the textbook learning verbs and nouns and the proper way to sign words. We are starting to use earplugs to fully understand being deaf with the use of sign language. We got assigned a new story we need to learn called "Bubblegum." It's harder than "Timber", but if I study enough it will be easy as it was for "Timber." In modern we learned a new combination that we will continue to work on for the next few weeks.
