Lesson Plan - Daily ASL Journals (Activate)

Summary

This lesson is a repeating lesson that students will use daily, in class. It will be used synchronously, and in person. (Lesson plan image source: Allison Terry)

They will need to make it up if absent. Make ups will need to be done in my classroom, with me. This is to encourage attendance and is a school wide initiative for next year.

The lesson will be to respond to a teacher given prompt (in ASL) that changes daily and is always related to the learning from the previous day’s lesson. The prompt will need to be carefully crafted to elicit the detailed response desired from students.

As the bell rings each day, the teacher will have everyone log in to their device and open their digital Daily ASL Journal (a Pages template). Students will need to copy the template page (first page after the cover) every day to create a new journal response. They may reformat this page or make additions to it to match thier personality, time permitting. The teacher will give two minutes for students to get logged in and duplicate the template page before giving the prompt for the day. The teacher will repeat the prompt up to 3 times, if needed. Students will then have 2-5 minutes, depending on the language level, to record their response to the prompt, put it in their digital journal, and save it.
