Final project for American Sign Language 1 for 9th graders at a private christian academy including a research component for deaf culture with MLA citation requirements and a hands on teaching component for 5th graders using sign dialogue complete with grading rubric out of 100 points

This learning resource outlines the ASL 1 Capstone Project titled 'Bridge to the Community,' where students will demonstrate their mastery of American Sign Language (ASL) skills by researching Deaf culture and teaching a lesson to 5th graders. The project is structured into three components: a Research Component that focuses on the investigation of Deaf culture and requires proper MLA citations; a Teaching Component where students will create and deliver a lesson plan suitable for 5th-grade students; and a Presentation & Reflection phase for summarizing their growth throughout the project. The resource covers essential guidelines for each phase, including research requirements, teaching activities, effective strategies for engaging young learners, and self-assessment for ongoing ASL development.
