[ action & video | open ] Sign Language class #1!
Good afternoon, Marina! [ Jeanne waves to the camera. ] Jeanne here, just wanting to remind everyone that I will be holding the first sign language course shortly in the Education Center, room number 6.

If anyone is still interested, or even just curious, please don't hesitate to stop in. It's only for an hour, and I'm pretty sure it isn't going to interfere with anyone's other classes. [ Smiling, though she does fidget a little nervously with the the scarf on her new jacket. ] At any rate, I hope to see some of you there!

((ooc: Event headers for the class are within~ There will be a half hour "lecture" with videos, and then a half hour session for people to pair off and practice mock conversations. This starts at 2PM. Please note the videos are just for flavor, and not indicative of which sign language type she is teaching. I am not being that specific! ))

[ Jeanne sets the coat over the chair at the front of the room, and then checks that all her hand-outs and the video discs are in order. There's a projector on one of the front desks, with a large screen pulled down over the whiteboard.

Maybe that coffee was a bad idea, because she's feeling aflutter. Yes, she's been in a command position for some time now, but this was different. ]

	[ She jumps just the slightest, turning to Saya after setting papers down. ] Hi! [ A weak laugh. ] Excited and nervous. I've never really had to teach anything before. Barking orders doesn't exactly count... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll do great. I'm sure people will find the class really useful! What's planned for the first lesson? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope so! [ On both counts. ] Um, just some basics. Where to hold your hands, etiquette on what not to wear to avoid distracting those you're talking to, and some basic phrases. I'm really hoping I'll get some feedback on what people would like to learn, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds great. You're working really hard! Is there anything I can do to help? [so eager!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not sure how familiar any of you are with sign language as a whole, but it is not too different than communicating with words. But the imporant things to remember are posture and presentation. Let your face speak, as well as your hands, and don't give conflicting signals! [ Then she goes on to explain a few basics of performing sign language, as can be seen in this video.

Also, there will be no focus on spelling, since the spelling of words will differ between speakers and listeners -- but phrases will be universal. ] --Kind of like how smiling and waving are pretty universally understood! No matter where anyone is from.

Any questions before we move on?

	[Sasha took to exploring the Education Sector today. Once she saw Jeanne's broadcast, she found herself drawing a beeline towards the classroom in question. Well, it was only an hour and the Art Class was still at 3... She listened and watched attentively, pondering on a possible question...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ As she's walking around, giving out handouts and introducing herself to everyone she isn't familiar with, she stops by Sasha's seat and smiles. ] Hi, there. I didn't ask for anyone to give their names to the whole class -- which, now that I think about it, I should have -- but...

[ Taking a breath. ] What's your name? [ In the same breath. ] Do you think I'm going too fast with all this?

	Ah! [She had been pondering on her question so much that she was a little startled when the teacher spoke to her.] M-my name is Sasha, Miss Jeanne. [Shake of her head --] No, I am able to follow quite well. [Studying her handout...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Waving her hand. ] Oh, gosh, just Jeanne is fine. [ Little laugh. ] It's not like I'm a certified teacher or anything. [ Whispering. ] Truth is, I'm probably picking up about as much as others are with all this... I just took a lot of notes. [ Straightening up, and offering the earlier hand for a shake. ] It's nice to meet you, Sasha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
