American Sign Language (ASL) is a visual language used primarily by the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community in the United States and parts of Canada.
"Sign language is not a universal language — each country has its own sign language, and regions have dialects, much like the many languages spoken all over the world. Like any spoken language, ASL is a language with its own unique rules of grammar and syntax. Like all languages, ASL is a living language that grows and changes over time.
ASL is accepted by many high schools, colleges, and universities in fulfillment of modern and “foreign” language academic degree requirements across the United States."

1. T/F- ASL is a silent version of English, and follows all of the same grammar and rules.
2. T/F- Everyone in the world uses ASL, so I can go to Russia or Spain and communicate with them using ASL!
3. T/F- ASL is the exact same all across the country and never changes, so I will never see anything different from what I learned in class.
- I need to SEE you, but I don't need/want to HEAR you.
You are voice off at all times unless instructed otherwise. You should ask questions using sign or the chat box if you are confused.
You will be presenting a number of stories in ASL... in front of the class. There are NO exceptions for this UNLESS you are on a modified curriculum (this is different than 504/IEP). If this is not possible for you, please contact your counselor to switch languages.
This goes for any class, but BE RESPECTFUL of your peers and your teachers.
