Should I watch the video clips first?

Hi there, I'm a new Rocket Sign Language member and want to know the best approach to the system. I'm not the most Internet savvy, (hence my son has helped me find this forum!) I'd like to learn signing as I think it would be useful to me as a teacher. I would like to make up a like lesson plan for my Grade 2 students. Has anyone come across some good material I could use as an introduction to signing for students? Thanks very much, talk to you soon. S.

Hi there, I would recommend going through the Learning Guide first to get a handle on the basics. The start using the MegaSign software and replay the video's as much as you need. If you want to teach you class some signing I would start by teaching them words they can use in their everyday life. Like: Hello, good bye, thank you, please, nice to meet you etc. Good luck with your lessons and let us know how you get on.
