   • MATH

3. Start with 5-minute conversations in breakout rooms conversations can be about whatever they want
   • “NOW DAY START BREAKOUT ROOMS TIME 5 MINUTE CONVERSATION DISCUSS TOPIC WHATEVER”
4. Introduce yourself first using things like name, major, minor, a fun fact, etc.
   • “HI LIST 5- MY NAME, YEAR, MAJOR/MINOR, ME FROM, FUN THING ABOUT ME”
5. Have students introduce themselves using the same information.
   • “NOW TAKE TURNS LIST 5”
6. An optional Kahoot can be added. The Kahoot cannot be provided for this lab since it is based off of Boise State University’s WLRC lab rules. However, you are free to create your own Kahoot using rules for your class or lab.
   • “NOW KAHOOT PLAY PRACTICE LAB RULES”

Main Activity

1. Open the wheel of names website and enter topics such as the ones listed below.
   1. Family
   2. Places
   3. Traveling
   4. Food
   5. Classes
   6. Activities
   7. Winter Break
   8. Etc.
2. 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 response to the wheel can be either a question, asking about preference, or maybe experiences. However, they should be more in-depth than yes or no questions. This will also help re-introduce facial expressions and using the correct eyebrow orientation with open-ended questions.
   • “NOW GAME PLAY. TAKE TURNS (cl)-CIRCLE SPIN. SEE TOPIC START CONVERSATION” 
   • “YES NO QUESTIONS ASK NOT. MAKE CONVERSATION. WH QUESTIONS EYEBROWS DOWN”
3. If students do not know a sign while giving their explanation ask that they only finger-spell as a last resort. Have students try and use CL (Classifiers) or ask questions to figure out what a sign is.
   • “FINGER-SPELL ONLY IF NEED. CL USE TRY”
4. The point of this activity is for students to work on their conversation skills as well as pose questions using an ASL grammar structure. Students should have their voices off and should refrain from typing questions into the chat.

   • “NOW SEMESTER YOU EXCITED WHAT?”
