American Sign Language Appoquinimink High School Rob Kogut B224

Video assignments Required Can not be avoided Necessary for expressive skills Since its ASL, it is a visual language, not written Carry big weight in grade It usually take 1-3 minutes to do (piece of cake!) Late = point deducted, missed = no points Every Friday (7-8 video assignments per marking period) Will post video assignment on whiteboard on Monday, its your responsible to monitor and have plenty time to complete by Friday

How to do video assignment Would need g-mail account If not have account, create one Record yourself Upload on YouTube.com Make sure it is unlisted, not private Make sure to title your video assignment as: ‘Week 1 Video ASL (level) (last name)’ Submit to me at: Robert.Kogut@appo.k12.de.us Make sure you submit before due date (end of your of block)

Tips on making video… Wear appropriate clothing- not pajamas or shirtless (it happened) Stand up or sit up- not lying on floor or in bed under the blanket Lighting Make sure the lights are front of you, not behind Posture Make sure your ‘frame’ cover your head to mid-section Fluency Make sure your signing is clear and smooth (signing fast does not help)

What do I look for… 5 parameters Fluency Your normal speed Clear Not choppy Concept accurate Using correct signs Eye contact Engaging and mood/attitude of signer Posture shifting

Any questions, concerns, issues, suggestions, comments… Let me know, do not wait till last minute You have plenty time to do the video assignments (5 days) If technology issues, let me know immediately, not minute before its due Video files are full on phone or computer is not acceptable excuse for not submitting video assignment Grades will be posted on Home Access Center This video assignment promotes your expressive skills and build confidence plus allows me to see your strengths and weakness The video assignment will only be seen by me- not the world, that’s why you ‘unlisted’ the video, not ‘public’
