Teaching ASL With SW

[Thiessen Stuart]

I think this is a great idea!

One suggestion: Make flashcards of all your vocabulary and put it in  
the classroom somewhere and remind your students that they can drill  
themselves on the signs that way if they want. Using flashcards for  
language study has always been helpful for me. :)

Another idea is to label common things around the room. Put the sign  
"DOOR" on the door, etc.  That can be another reinforcement that you  
can use of the sign.

Thanks,

Stuart
