In this activity, students will practice talking about Deaf culture. They will discuss how Deaf individuals order food. Students will also discuss foods that they perceive to be healthy or not healthy.
Students will be comparing different dishes of food and defending their opinion on which is more healthy. After that, the lab assistant will facilitate an open discussion (via prompted questions) about the Deaf community interacting in fast food businesses compared to hearing people's experiences.
Students will be learning Fast Food slang vocabulary via a Google Slide Presentation. (Note: These signs have been verified with multiple Deaf adults). Students will also be given a prompt as to how to make a specific Fast Food business more accessible to the Deaf.
Through providing an overview about food habits and the recent trends in the fast food culture in German-speaking countires, students gain knowledge in that field and become more confident in ordering food as they have to practice real world situations. This activity also contains a brief introduction to influences from other countries and cultures as well as immigration.

Each student is given Person card with information that matches other cards held by classmates. They need to ask each other questions about who they are in German so they are able to find a match. If they think they have found their match, they compare emojis to confirm. This activity can be expanded by having students describe themselves or describe each other at the beginning or end of the activity.

Fingerspelling: A Mindful Approach will show us how to build a foundation of mindfulness and then ways of consciously and intentionally building our fingerspelling skills for the improvement of our ASL communication. Perhaps you are a professional ASL Interpreter, a student who simply loves ASL or any person, hearing or Deaf, who has within them the intuitive desire to communicate effectively. In the following pages we will tap into our innate desire and answer the question—how do we take a nuance of language, like fingerspelling, and with gentle persistent attention, strive toward clarity and understanding?
Students will have multiple opportunities to practice fingerspelling their receptive, fingerspelling comprehension skills. Within this lab students will have exposure to different speeds of fingerspelling and a variety of letter pairs.
Students get to practice their receptive skills with a fingerspelling quiz. Students should be reading fingerspelling at a mid-fast speed. Students are also practicing receptive/expressive descriptions of places/images/etc.
