Materials Needed for Main Activity
Modified “Number Flyswatter”
- Review signs in the list (on the slideshow)
- Tell students that you are going to be signing a word and they are going to be telling you what they think it is.
- “ME WORD SIGN YOU GUESS”
- Each time a word is signed a student will privately message you in the zoom chat to make sure all people have a chance to participate. Zoom settings can be changed so participants can only message the host.
- “YOU MESSAGE ONLY ME YOUR GUESS”
- Sign a random item from the list.
- After the word has been signed and the students have sent you their answers you will reveal the correct answer by fingerspelling or sending it in chat.
- “NOW ME SHOW-YOU RIGHT ANSWER”
- You can then reveal who was the first to answer the question correctly but will not say who came in last or who got the answer wrong to try and not “call out” people.
- “PERSON ANSWER FIRST rhq-WHO?”
- The game will continue with reviewing words and instructors signing them for students to respond.
- If there is time left-over have students do 3-5 words of fingerspelling practice.
- Have the instructor sign the words and students write down or type their answers.
- “NOW TIME HAVE FINGER-SPELL PRACTICE”
WRAP-UP

- Any other questions? (new signs, confused about content in class, etc)?
- “QUESTIONS? YOU IN CLASS CONTENT UNDERSTAND?”
Deaf Culture
Communication of numbers is crucial in any community, especially at the bank or the store. Unfortunately, Deaf people are used to writing things out, especially numbers in various settings. This is due to the hearing community’s lack of knowledge of sign language.
End of Lab:
- Sign or show Can-Do statements once more 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!
