Element #1: Multiple Meaning Words
Identify an English word that has multiple meanings. Show the related ASL signs that reflect the conceptual accurate meaings.
IMPORTANT POINT: when I learned this sign at my placement, my teacher said the last sentence almost ver batim "Today ___ is sick. She caught a bug." One of the students picked up on the fact she said bug and asked her why she said that.
I think this example is important in showing how hearing children learn new words compared to Deaf children. For me, growing up, I would pick up on a words double meaning after hearing the word used in a certain context a few times. For Deaf students, they need these double meanings clarified.

SIGNS LEARNED FROM ABC GAME
SIGNS LEARNED FROM ABC GAME
The ABC game is a game where you start with the letter "A" and go until the letter "Z" and need to sign a sign that has a handshape related to that letter. For example, here the sign "attitude" has an "A" handshape, and the next person would sign something with a "B" handshape. These were all signs students chose during the ABC game that I hadn't known before we played it,
