I never learned ASL grammar in my first week-long class. This is only a week-long class. I don't think that teaching a class of 8-year-olds for a week would be able to even skim the surface, and I don't think that they would be ABLE to learn the language in that time. Secondly, I was using sign language songs done by deaf people and for deaf people. I have the videos available and I would have been using them. I understand what it is like to see a person doing sign the wrong way. I saw a lot of that in our homeschool group's commencement ceremony. Absolute torture. Thing is, I would be sourcing a book. I had a book available that my SLID head referred me to use. I wouldn't be stupid enough to go in without a book. I am not sure whether or not I should HAVE taken it. I didn't end up with the job anyways, so I don't have to worry about it now.

[QUOTE="sculleywr, post: 584562, member: 10432"] I never learned ASL grammar in my first week-long class. This is only a week-long class. I don't think that teaching a class of 8-year-olds for a week would be able to even skim the surface, and I don't think that they would be ABLE to learn the language in that time. Secondly, I was using sign language songs done by deaf people and for deaf people. I have the videos available and I would have been using them. I understand what it is like to see a person doing sign the wrong way. I saw a lot of that in our homeschool group's commencement ceremony. Absolute torture. Thing is, I would be sourcing a book. I had a book available that my SLID head referred me to use. I wouldn't be stupid enough to go in without a book. I am not sure whether or not I should HAVE taken it. I didn't end up with the job anyways, so I don't have to worry about it now. [/QUOTE]
