Students can learn to sign

By Kristian Craig Staff Writer

This school year Douglass has started a new class called American Sign Language.

“Douglass does not have a curriculum for ASL,” said Karee Strome ASL. teacher at Douglass.

Strome said that right now she is working out of a book called “Signing Naturally” for the lesson she teach.

“I think the students are learning at their own pace, so I am teaching as they learn,” said Strome.

Strome said that if the student pick something fast she moves on if they do not understand she goes back and review.

“To do ASL you do not need to know good English because ASL is its own language,” said Strome.

Terrell Brown student at Douglass said that ASL is a good class but you have to be into it to understand.

“ASL gets fun when you really get into because you understand more,” said Brown.
