Signing Naturally Unit 1 ASL 101 COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 1:1 Read STRATEGIES FOR LEARNING ASL on pages 4-5. Choose a strategy you will work on for the next month. Write down the strategy and why you chose to use it.(5 points) I choose strategy 1 (build a language community). Since I have had previous experience with learning another language, I really noticed the difference in my ability to learn when I started to communicate with my fellow classmates more in Japanese over communicating in English. Using the language outside of class was really my lifesaver in Japanese and now I know that I have to do it for ASL in order to keep up my vocabulary. Now that I have a coworker who is in a higher level ASL class, I can start to use ASL at work. We have already started signing numbers and letters from across the room so I can practice. 1:2 Watch the videos for pages 6-7 and do WRITE THE NUMBER 1. 3 2. 5 3. 9 4 . 2 5. 8 6. 4 7. 10 8. 1 9. 8 10. 7 1:3 Watch the videos for page 8-13 and do CIRCLE THE LETTER 2 1:4 Read Deaf Profile on pages 14-15 and answer the following questions. 1.
