  4. Weekly Quizzes: Each week students will be evaluated on receptive skills.
  5. Chapter Vocabulary Phrases: Each week, students will be required to submit five sentences ready for signing in class. Phrase are to be written in both English and ASL format.
  6. Paragraphs and Songs: Students will be preparing paragraphs to sign and learning to change songs into ASL.
  7. Tests: You will have 4 tests. Each test will be after 4 chapters worth of content. 
  8. Final Exam: A cumulative exam will be given in expressive, receptive, and written forms. Any concepts or vocabulary discussed in class or covered in assignments may be on the exam.
