AY Honors/Sign Language - Advanced/Answer Key
1. Have the Sign Language Honor.
2. Have a minimum of 5 hours of instruction in signing.
Continue the classes started in the Sign Language honor. If you earned the Sign Language honor a long time ago and the classes are no available, you will need to sign up again.
3. Send and receive finger spelling at a rate of 12 words per minute using a minimum of 50 letters.
In the standard version of this honor, you were required to sign five words per minute. Hopefully you did not find that too difficult to do, but unless you put in some serious practice, you are unlikely to achieve 12 words per minute. But rest assured, you can do it!
4. Learn at least 350 signs.
We refer you to the books recommended in the standard version of this honor. The best way to learn 350 signs is to practice, practice, practice. You could even practice during the sermon at church as you sit in your pew. If you think people might think you are strange signing to yourself during the sermon, see if you can find an out-of-the-way place where you can hear the sermon without being seen (in the balcony, AV room, or even in a hallway if your church has speakers there). Not only will you get valuable practice signing, you will also be assured of staying awake for the whole sermon!
5. Sign at least 6 songs to a hearing impaired friend.
6. Be able to sign to a hearing impaired friend:
a. The Lord's Prayer - Matthew 6:9-13.
This Youtube video shows how to sign The Lord's Prayer.
