According to Kubiszyn & Borich “an instructional objective must include an action verb that specifies a learning outcome, however, not all action verbs specify learning outcomes. Learning outcomes are often confused with learning activities. (pg. 110). The text also states that “it is important to recognize that all teachers’ must have objectives in mind when they teach. “Validity evidence must be present when test are given to the students. In other words the teachers would need to make sure that the “test measures what it is supposed to measure” in order to be fair to all students (pg. 329) In the American Sign Language 3rd grade class, the students will watch movies and identify word usage by learning how to sign their names, numbers and colors. Action verbs will also be used by signing words, like, to repeat, to know, to name, to tell, to use and to show, for the learning objectives So therefore, at the end of the school year 1) Students will be able to sign their names, numbers and colors 2) Students will be able to sign vocabulary words pertaining to action verbs 3) Student will be able to correctly identify hand shapes, pictures, and words, and create small sentences, such as, mother, I love, candy, I love (the love sign is signed differently for a motherly love) In order to make sure that the students comprehended what was taught to them, they would give a presentation about what they saw on film. The teacher would need to record each student’s ability to comprehend their understanding of the “ASL” words they were learning and discuss their findings. The teacher would explain to the students who did not understand completely, and explain and help them on what to do for the next film assignment of the English/ASL words in verb content.

TEST AND ESSAY ITEMS Submitted by Anita Wallace Education 645 Submitted to: Dr. Miller-Nara Date: February 11, 2012
After reading a story about a hearing student by the name of Joey, the students will take a test and remembering that (the middle and index finger often represent the legs of a person walking, running, standing or jumping) 1) How many fingers will Joey use when he jumped up and down on the couch? a. All 5 fingers b. 2 fingers c. 1 finger d. 4 fingers
2) Do Deaf people like being called deaf and dumb? a. Never b. Always c. Sometimes d. Yes
3) When 2 Deaf people are signing to one another and you need to get to the other side, and there is no other way to get through, what do you do? a) Shout b) Wave your hands c) Walk straight through in between them without saying a word d) Say excuse me and walk through Extracurricular Activities would be to: The students will pick up 5 cards with pictures on them and sign each card (in ASL) correctly. The cards with pictures on them will be of people, houses, food, furniture, and cities. I would want the students to be familiar with the history of ASL (American Sign Language) and also familiarize themselves with some basic concepts of ASL. “(ASL) is a visual language. With signing, the brain processes linguistic information through the eyes. The shape, placement, and movement of the hands, as well as facial expressions and body movements, all play important parts in conveying information” Retrieved February 11, 2011 from: http://www.nad.org/issues/american-sign-language/what-is-asl
