10th Week Summary
For the 10th week I was actually in class both days for sign language!
On Tuesday we first free signed normally for three minutes. After that we then free signed another three minutes but with only one hand! That was a little more difficult but it was fun. Later on Professor Carl split the room up and we copy signed each other’s signs. It was really interesting. After that we did topic signing. This day Carl showed us a picture of an airplane and above it said, “Can we fly?” That was pretty difficult for me. I just kept doing the sign for airplane. I didn’t know what else to sign. I saw other people doing the same thing also. Finally we had a class discussion. We talked about the final and what had to be included.
Thursday was a very fun day! It was also our last class which was kind of sad. Most of Thursday we did Lego people. We got to pick a Lego person out of a bin and sign about it to our neighbor. We had to make up a name, a name sign and tell how, why, where and when our Lego person met another Lego person. It was really fun making up my own story. I got to explore what signs I know and what signs I wanted to learn. After that we talked more about the final.
Week ten was fun but sad at the same time. I am going to miss sign language. Maybe I will take it again sometime in the future. Thanks Professor Carl!
9th Week Summary
Sadly, I was never in class the whole 9th week of sign language.
On Tuesday I was still not feeling very well, but I heard that we free signed as usual. On our syllabus for week nine it says copying to creating, object topicalization, non-manual expressions and Lego people are people too! Also I have been working on the unit 4 homework just like it says. I’m not sure of what else we did in class on Tuesday but I’m sure it was interesting, as sign language always is.
On Thursday we didn’t have class because it was Thanksgiving.
Even though I was never in class this week I still learned sign language at home!
8th Week Summary
Week 8 was another short week for me, because I wasn't there on Thursday.
On Tuesday though, I was in sign language class. First we free signed as usual for three minutes. Although I think Professor Carl made it more like five minutes. After we free signed Carl wrote on an index card saying, “I’m Concerned.” He was telling us that his chair said there were people in his class who did not understand the material. He spent most of the class signing about it. He was sort of upset that we weren’t coming to him for help. After our class discussion Professor Carl seemed upset and let us all take a ten minute break. After he came back in he put a book out and we read a page or two about language. When we were done he let us out of class early.
On Thursday I wasn’t there because I was sick. But, I was told by my classmates that Carl wasn’t there because he was in the hospital. I was also told that Erin had the class play a game. It made them think of signs fast so they could improve their signing skills. Then, Erin let the class out early.
I wish I could have been there on Thursday. I do not like missing sign language class because I love it so much. There is always something to learn in sign language!

7th Week Summary
I have not much to tell for this week, though I'm sure there is always something interesting happening in sign language.
On Tuesday I was not in school. I came down with a cold. But, my fellow classmates told me you guys did free signing like always. Also, I heard that people picked a picture out of a magazine and signed to their neighbor, explainging about the picture.
Thursday was a really short day. We went in and had a pop quiz. There was three questions on there. The first asked about hand movement and holding. The second asked why talking during class is direspecful. Finally, the third question asked us to state ten true statements about sign language. We got to leave when we were done. So, for me, class was only about twenty minutes long.
Overall, class this week was very short for me, but sign language kept me busy at home!

6th week summary.
In our sixth week of ASL class we started topic signing. Topic signing is where the professor gives us a topic and for three minutes we have to sign about that certain topic.
Class was cancelled on Tuesday so we had a very short week, with just a Thursday class. But, within thats class time we learned a lot. We got to experience what topic signing was all about.
On Tuesday Proffesor Carl gave us a sentence that said "Their are four errars in this sentance." We had to sign about this sentence for three minutes. This was our very first topic signing so we all had no clue what to do. Everyone was looking around at eachother and was just kind of moving their hands. For me, I just kept signing the sentence over and over.
When the three minutes was up, proffesor Carl demonstrated what we were suppose to be doing. It became a little easier but still a bit difficult. After awhile, proffesor Carl gave us something else to topic sign. This however, was a little easier.
Throughout the rest of the class we just brushed up on our signs. We did copy signing, and freesigning like we do everyother day. I believe this is to help us remember what we have already learned, and keep our brains fresh and functioning.
Even though this week was quite short, class was still fun as usual. Topic signing may have been a challenge but it gets easier and easier with every class. This week made me learn a lot more!

A very messy video of me copysigning the song "Hallelujah." There is a pause in the middle where the song is playing music. Enjoy! :)
