Week of October 12, 2021 ASL 1 (Blocks 3 & 4) Deaf Culture Peer Presentations Standards Addressed ASL1.CU1 Students develop an awareness of perspectives, practices, and products of the cultures where the target language is used. Students will: A. Demonstrate knowledge of contributions target culture to civilization (e.g., technology; art; theater and plays; sign language/deaf literature, media, games and jewelry). B. Identify commonly held viewpoints of the culture (e.g., cultural vs. medical views of deafness, D/d deaf, residential vs. inclusive models of education). C. Describe customs and traditions of the culture, such as greetings, celebrations, and courtesies (e.g., name signs, homecoming, and deaf/hearing/hard of hearing, deaf only organizations). ASL1.CCC1 Students use information acquired in the study of the target language and information acquired in other subject areas to reinforce one another. Students will: A. Demonstrate knowledge of the evolution and spread of American Sign Language (e.g., travels of T.H. Gallaudet; location of residential schools; Martha’s Vineyard; Gallaudet University/NTID/CSUN; regional signs). B. Apply previously learned skills from other subjects, when appropriate to demonstrate knowledge in the target language (e.g., practice math fact drills; English/ASL grammar; famous deaf people; receptive fingerspelling). C. Relate content from other subject areas to topics discussed in the language class (e.g., literature by or for deaf people; appearance of deaf characters in TV drama; sports; sign for and from other countries).
