I am not sure how I feel about that! There is so much to practice and so much to learn. April is a great at presenting the information in a sensible manner and overall I don't think the class has been overwhelmed even with all of the protests. ;-) We know that we must go through these processes in order to learn to become an interpreter. As she said, "Many people to know to sign. Interpreting is another whole [animal]."
Utilizing paraphrasing has been so vital. I listen to strangers, the news or sports casters, whoever I can for the purpose of context. Funny thing I realized - this is simply a great listening tool, without taking it to the next step of interpreting the information.
My video for ASL V was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it had many production errors. However, one thing which pleased me regarding that exercise is that I did not script my story. It was done in the midst of classroom distractions and was mine. As with any of my videos, I consider it rather painful to watch.
The class dynamics continue to become stronger. We are having fun and supporting each other.
