Sign Language Lessons on Video!

Quiz #1

Our first quiz is this week. I will be quizzing you on your receptive skills. This will show if you can process what you have been learning. Don’t worry-you want to know what you have learned- and the areas you need to work on.

*Please bring a sheet of paper numbered 1-10 with space at the bottom for some extra credit and a pencil or pen. Where will this score be recorded-you ask? Right in your pocket. Keep track of your improvement-your own work will hold you accountable. Especially for those of us who have not been in a classroom setting in a while, this will motivate your studying and review time.

I will post the quiz video for those who may miss the class or just for review.

I should see the stats on this blog sky rocket today and tomorrow!
