The focus of this weeks class is on learning new signs, and increasing our signing speed by copysigning.
We reaffirmed our knowledge of the five lego people, and increased the number of signs we know by learning new vocab and working on vocab cards put on sheets. We quizzed each other and did an interesting exercise where one person signed a word, and motioned to where it was on a sheet. We had to figure out the sign, and then put it in the right box.
This activity made us have to recall signs and split our attention between understanding the sign, and putting it on the paper. Being able to do two things and understand sign forced us to stop concentrating so much on just one aspect of sign, sort of like a real conversation.

This week we didn't have class Tuesday, and professor Carl was gone Thursday.
