The signs

This week I work that will help with my final project. The final project is coming along and one thing that keeps me interested is that I want to learn more about American Sign Language.

asl family
The work I did was learning some more signs of American Sign Language. I learn the signs for mom, dad, brother, and sister. For my final project there was a part I planned to teach the class some basic signs. With these signs i would have demonstrated them in class to show that this project was not just a research but a project where I did actually learn something about American Sign Language. The picture just signifies all the signs that i learned this week. Instead of putting a picture of one I just summed them up in one. And all those signs are a part in families and that is why I choose this picture.

what"s new

Lately I just did some research on Cochlear Implants. The final product is coming a long a little slow but its getting there. The thing that keeps me excited is I want to see how my final product comes out. I want to show that i can finish the project. One thing that bothers me is the time I put in. I have to put more time outside of class on the project.

This is related because i just did some research on Cochlear Implants. Ms. Weck gave me the idea to do research on this topic. So I found out somethings about it. Like i wanted to find how this get started. Also I wanted to see how it works. I wanted to know how this gives deaf people ability to hear. The last thing I wanted was how the deaf community felt on these implants. I wanted to see whether they liked the implant or were they against it.

Web sites

Nided.nih/gov/health/hearing/pages/ask.aspx 
I found this website by searching background information on ASL. With my presentation I need to give  some information on like the basics of ASL.  On the website it has a lot of information on ASL. It  discusses what ASL is used for,  how to sign, and like how ASL varies from place to place. This is helpful to me because it helps me with learning the basic information on ASL.

I found this website by searching up the grammar rules of sign language. On the website it told me sign language has separate grammar system from English. Also told me it followed topic comment arrangement.  This is helpful to me because I need to know the grammar rules when I present. I wouldn't want to show the class the wrong things about ASL. Also it helps so when I sign to other people outside of school I could make sure I'm using the right grammar
