Why Did I Choose This Inquiry Topic?
When I first started trying to choose a topic for this inquiry I was feeling fairly uninspired and couldn’t think of any topic that I wanted to commit to. Eventually I turned to the We Are Teachers website in hopes of finding a topic that sparked my interest. After scrolling through a few articles I came across one about using ASL in classrooms. This immediately caught my eye and I began to dig a little deeper into the use of ASL in the elementary classroom. I had finally chosen my inquiry question: How can ASL be taught to elementary students and used in the classroom in a meaningful way?
How will I Explore This Inquiry Topic?
Since I have no previous knowledge of ASL I will be trying to learn simple things such as the alphabet, colours, numbers, and important words. Along with this, I would like to learn how and why ASL is used in classrooms by teachers. I am excited to start exploring my inquiry and learn a skill that I can take into my teaching practice in the future!
