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!
