BSL mini course ( Observed ) - Week starting 10/02/14

Monday - 3pm - 4pm
Tuesday - 2pm - 3pm
Wednesday - 3pm - 4pm 

It was the final week of this session of lessons and it was also time for my second observation.

Trying to follow the plan of last week, I tried to incorporate plenty of student interactive elements and it again seemed to work well. I used two videos to practice receptive skills and revisit vocabulary and technical aspects. 

Finding the clips was tricky, so much so, it prompted me to make my YouTube signing début. I responded to the observation feedback relating to the first video content by using a very different clip on the next group. The second clip, that can be viewed on my Prezi, was very successful as it allowed the students to expand on what they already knew, even introducing some clever little nuances relating to deaf culture and translation - note the lyrics " sing it loud... knowing everyone can hear you..." the young children sign " look at me" not " hear me " as this makes more sense to a deaf audience. 

A big thank you to all the students that have offered me feedback.
