The case study of Mwajabu interested me and I wanted to focus my attention on her ability to draw and hopefully help her work on her

social interactions with fellow peers. American Sign Language (ASL) relies heavily on interactions with other people which Mwajabu has

difficulty with, especially when understanding social cues. Mwajabu loves to draw and knows geography, especially when talking about her

move to America. She is precise but does not know patience and turn-taking. I wish to subtly address patience and turn-taking during the group

activity and during time with the whole class and to include independent practice, so hopefully Mwajabu is not overwhelmed by group work.

Because I chose level one, I wanted to spend most of the time learning together and in small groups rather than independent work. I

decided to use small groups during the lesson and cut the time down so each student spent less time presenting all four panels. I hope the

activity of drawing pictures and spending less time on presenting before moving on to someone else can help Mwajabu’s social understanding

and enforce turn-taking and highlight her creative side and her desire to draw. I also wanted to include an independent practice where students

could learn about different regions, highlighting Mwajabu’s knowledge of oceans and land.

My Anticipatory Set included a poem in ASL by a Deaf woman, titled “Snow”. This is to showcase the abilities of ASL and introduce

the topic of weather. Comprehensive (and Inclusive): material requires prior knowledge about the weather and activities require prior

knowledge from other courses. Also using a horseshoe shape for the chairs, making sure students can all see each other and the teacher.

Empowering: providing group activities to enforce positive peer feedback and validation among peers. Giving confidence to students who will

begin to believe they can talk to peers in ASL.
