American Sign Language Elementary | Lesson 1 & 2 | Intro to ASL and Deaf Culture
- Zip
Description
American Sign Language Lesson 1 & 2 Introduction to ASL and Deaf Culture is a 2 lesson introduction designed especially for elementary students.
Want to teach your 3rd-6th graders ASL? American Sign Language would be a great time filler, higher-order thinking exercise, or behavioral management activity.
What to expect from this download?
In this download, I have included 2 mini-lessons. Every time I teach ASL, no matter the grade level or age (kindergarten all the way to adults) I always start Day 1 with these two lessons.
Day 1 of ASL should be about getting to know your students, getting students excited about learning ASL, and just having fun. Lesson 1 is titled “Why Should I Learn Sign Language?” and is about the benefits of learning ASL. Lesson 2 is titled “Myths About Deaf Culture” and is taught in game format.
I just couldn’t see providing one lesson without the other. I have always taught them this way on Day 1 and they have always been a hit. Students come back for Day 2 (a much slower-paced day) ready to learn more!
I have separated Day 1 into two lessons because of the differing objectives, but feel free to use them any way you see fit for your individual class. This could include:
•Teaching Lesson 1 and 2 in the same class period
•Using them as separate mini-lessons to introduce that students will be learning ASL soon
•Teaching Lesson 1 on Day 1 and Lesson 2 on Day 2 and filling the time with other work. Ex.:
•ASL coloring sheets for younger students
•Researching the history of ASL on iPads for older students
What's included:
- Teacher guide: 41 pages, direct instruction guidelines/objectives/suggestions/etc., pre-/post-/formative assessments, anticipatory sets, closures, resources, etc.
- Notes for teaching the power points (29 pages)
- Exit tickets for Lesson 1 (1 page)
- Lesson 2 worksheet (lower level and higher level) (2 pages)
- Lesson 2 worksheet answer keys (2 pages)
- "Why Should I Learn Sign Language?" power point (13 pages)
- "Myths About Deaf Culture" power point (38 pages)
These files are in one compressed ZIP file. To access the files:
1. right click zipped file
2. Open with > Windows explorer
3. click "extract all" (it should be on the top right)
I hope you enjoy this product! More lesson plans will be coming soon and eventually will be bundled!
