Here are some links to sites that show how to use sign language. We will have homework this weekend that asks students to use sign language, so it might be good to visit these sites ahead of time, just for fun.

American Sign Language Dictionary

Please translate these phrases into sign language using ASL:

I want a drink of water.
I like to read books.
Music is my favourite subject.
My dog ate my homework.
I 've got a feeling, that tonight's going to be a good night.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide. No escape from reality.
