Warm Up and Main Activity
Warm-up: Introductions
Introduce yourself with your AdobeSpark card and have the other students introduce themselves (with whatever you want: name, major, minor, a fun fact...etc.)
Main Activity (if time): The Question/Conversation Wheel
Open the wheel of names website and enter in topics such as the ones listed below.
Animals
Family
Places
Traveling
Food
Classes
Activities
Winter Break
Etc.
For this review each student will have the wheel spun for them and whatever topic appears they will ask a question or start a brief conversation with their lab mates.
The questions can be either or questions, asking about preference, maybe experience, however, they should be more in depth than yes or no questions.
If students do not know a sign when they are giving their explanation ask that they only fingerspell as a last resort, try to use CL or ask questions to figure out what the sign is. The point of this activity is for students to work on their conversation skills as well as posing questions using an ASL format.
Wrap-up questions:
What are you most excited for for the semester? Are you planning to continue on to get your minor in ASL? Are there any questions/concerns about lab hours or outside lab hours?
