My Project Proposal
Hello everyone! Please take a look at the Google slides below to learn more about my Genius Hour Project!
Signing my Way to Longer Sentences
This is week 6 of my Genius Hour Project, and this week I tried to communicate in longer sentences, the keyword being tried . It was a nice goal to have for this week, but sadly a goal that I was not able to complete. I feel like I still need to learn more words in sign language and learn how to construct the sentences when signing before I can properly communicate in longer sentences. All the new words that I learned in sign language this week Forgetfulness I've noticed that the signs I have previously learned are signs that I am now forgetting as I am not using them. To counter this I will try to watch more than one Bill Vicar video in a week. He repeats a lot of the previously learned signs, which can help with the memorization process. I will also try to use signs when I am speaking, so far to date I have said I will do this, but haven't. This week I learned that all yes or no questions require the eyebrows to be raised. This is similar to all WH - questions that requi
Hey Jasman – what an amazing idea for your Genius Hour Project!! I think that it was a fantastic idea to learn sign language during this project as this new learning helps to promote the understanding and acceptance of the language, especially for your future in teaching (you never know when you may need to use it!).
ReplyDeleteStar 1: First of all, I love the layout of your blog posts!! You have included so many different gifs, photos, videos, and bitmoji's, which helped to enhance your content and give your blog a nice personal touch.
Star 2: I really like your approach for this project and love how you included videos of yourself to show the various words that you learned, as well as how you included your most and least favourite signs/words of the week!
Wish: While I love how you included short videos in your weekly postings, I think it would have been a cool idea to have recorded a video of yourself to show the process of you learning these different words/letters for one of your weekly postings.
Overall, I really enjoyed your blog and the amazing work and effort you put into this project!! 😊
That is such a great idea! I wish I had thought to include videos of me actually learning the sign, that would have been great to see in the future. It wouldn't have worked for some weeks but it would have been great to see for the alphabet and the numbers.
DeleteHi Jasman! I loved the idea of your project! What an amazing topic to learn about and a useful one for both everyday life and for your future teaching practice!
ReplyDeleteStar 1: I really liked the different ways you used to express informtion within your blog! Using both text and visual components when explaining certain content (i.e., cerain sign language words and phrases) was really nice, especially for those who are visual learners!
Star 2: I also really liked how you broke down your research, so that those reading your blog could learn sign language with you! Your combination of teaching your readers and documenting your own experiences learning sign language was extremely engaging. It made be want to come back for more after each post!
Wish: It is clear that you put a ton of work within this blog and your research! Though, one thing that I would have liked to have had is a resource list of where you were getting your information on learning sign language from. Your blog has gotten me interest in learning sign language myself and a resource list would have been great to know where to start myself!
Overall, you have an amazing blog and I really enjoyed reading through it!
Hey Grace, I wish I had thought to include the resources at the end of the blog. I saw your blog and it was amazing how you included a reference list at the bottom. I will see if I am able to include them, thank you so much for the suggestion!
