1

Aprender el alfabeto manual utilizado por los sordos.

2

Tener un mínimo de tres horas de instrucción en lenguaje de signos.

Where do you find a sign language instructor? First, if you know a deaf person or someone who knows how to sign, ask them for a referral. If that doesn't work out, check with a local high school guidance counselor. They may be able to direct you to either a free or for-pay program. You can also check into a local social services organization, as many offer sign language classes for free.

3

Enviar y recibir letras con señas con la mano, a razón de cinco palabras por minuto utilizando un mínimo de 25 letras.

Tips

When you are first learning to sign the letters, a good Bible text to practice with is Philippians 4:8, as it repeats the phrase "whatever is" several times. Since it is so repetitive, You should be able to quickly sign the "whatever is" portion to get your speed up. This verse contains all the letters of the alphabet except j, q, and z which can be learned afterwards. Learning a text such as this will also force you to learn each letter on its own (as opposed to always signing K after J). Once a text such as this one has been learned you may be surprised that you can finger spell just about anything.

Realizar una de las siguientes actividades:

6a

Explicar la diferencia entre Ameslan (American Sign Language) y el lenguaje de signos en inglés (signed English) y demostrar el use de ambos.

Ameslan, or American Sign Language, has little connection to English grammar. This language was developed by the deaf community as an efficient and expressive method of communication. Signed English, on the other hand, was designed with a more direct connection to English grammar, the theory being that knowing it would make reading and writing in English easier. Signed English follows the same word order and syntax as spoken English, while the word order in Ameslan is conceptually-based.

6b

Leer y dar una exposición oral o por escrito sobre una escuela en su país o estado que se especializa en la educación de los sordos.

See the Wikipedia article Schools for the Deaf for a list.
