What was successful: My power point presentation in Economics. I focused on key vocabulary and taught the students using real life experiences. I used graphic organizers to solidify what they learned. In my 3rd period English class my student is beginning to read for meaning and answers questions well.

Things to improve: My signing skills. I struggle having learned only ASL and now trying to communicate with those students who use English. Also, I've noticed that the students do not retain the information from their weekly vocabulary lists. The words are too high level for them to remember, even when I explain them. I need to do a better job of guiding them to learn the information.

Suggestions from my teacher: N/A

Ideas for the future: Having the students practice signing the words as I teach them- more than I have before.
