Jeopardy (no teams)

If there is time left over after completing all activities above, then allow students to play Heads Up to provide an easy game for them to get back into the groove of signing.

- How are you feeling about starting a new semester?
- “HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT STARTING NEW SEMESTER?”

Deaf Culture
Deaf people are surrounded by hearing people who have no knowledge of sign language at all so when hearing people know even a little bit of sign, it makes communication easier and creates a feeling of inclusivity.
End of Lab:
- Read can-do statements and have students evaluate their confidence
- (Use thumbs up/ thumbs down or have them rate 1-5 on how they feel after the activity)
- Encourage students to be honest in their self-evaluation
- Pay attention, and try to use feedback for future labs!
