In this introductory course of American Sign Language students will learn topics including basic vocabulary, grammar, history, fingerspelling, numbers, terminology, and Deaf culture. Students will have fingerspelling, vocabulary/sentence comprehension quizzes, culture quizzes, and unit tests. There is a minimum of two required Deaf culture events worth 25% of the student's grade. The culture aspect is not only needed to meet the transcript requirement, it is a key ingredient to learning a foreign language! Suggested homework time estimated at one hour per day. Taking time to watch videos and/or study all the links per lesson. In order to count foreign languages towards high school transcript it is best to be 9th-12.
