Workshop Information:
Boot Camp II is a continuation of Boot Camp I and is about working hard and eliminating fears. By the time the workshop is over most participants will feel comfortable interpreting in front of others and challenged to go out and seek further practice to hone their skills. This workshop will analyze the importance of expressive skills using techniques such as acting out the message in order to show the meaning rather than focusing on the word. Participants will recognize patterns in ASL to English skills by completing activities in this area. The workshop starts from basic spelling activities and continues with interactive activities including showing rather than signing, voicing when there are no signs, chunking, simultaneous, and finally cold voicing work.
