One of the best ways to practice your signing skills and connect with people in the Deaf community is by attending and learning about Deaf events. For this lab, you will conduct some online research and locate a Deaf event that interests you. Next, you’ll prepare a mock video email (which you won’t actually send) to the organizers to clarify and confirm logistics and learn more details about the event. Here’s what your video should include: A brief introduction of yourself A brief explanation about why you want to attend this event and why it interests you A request to help clarify certain details about the event Based on the description of the event online, a request for further details about the event A request for additional community resources that could be of help to you as you continue your ASL journey Close the video in an appropriate and polite way When submitting your lab, you should include: Your video email The link to the event A brief one paragraph summary about the event A transcript of your video
