Textbook: Smith, Lentz, and Mikos. "Signing Naturally: Units 1-6." Dawn Sign Media, 2012.


Unit 1: Introducing Oneself
Lesson 1.2: Counting 1-10
ASL1.IP1 Students exchange simple information in the target language, utilizing cultural references where appropriate. Students will:
A. Produce gestures, handshapes, movements, facial expressions and pantomime. (e.g., marked and unmarked handshapes, emotions).
B. Produce and recognize appropriate attention-getting behaviors (eg., hand wave, shoulder tap).
C. Sign basic greetings, introductions, farewells and expressions of courtesy (e.g., eye gaze, turn taking, please and thank you).
I. Ask questions and provide responses based suggested topics (e.g., yes/no and wh- questions).
ASL1.IP2 Students demonstrate skills necessary to sustain exchanges in the target language. Students will:
A.Initiate, participate in, and close a brief exchange (e.g., turn taking and dialogue).
ASL1.CCC2 Students demonstrate an understanding of the significance of culture through comparisons between the culture studied and the students’ own culture. Students will:
A. Compare patterns of behavior and interaction in the students’ own culture with those of the target culture (e.g., phone/TV access; ring signalers, visual noise; proxemics; eye contact; driving; use of interpreters).
B. Demonstrate an awareness of elements of the students’ own culture (e.g., communication and social interaction; other languages in the home, extended family).
I can explain differences between Deaf culture and hearing culture and give examples.
I can count from 0 to 10 in ASL. I can discriminate between numbers signed to me in random order.
