Lyrics below, download here: http://rapidshare...
Sat down to write you a letter
but I don't write very well
so I tried to draw you a picture
but I just can't do that either
So i took a break from thinking of you
instead took out your pictures
and I lined them up on the mantle
and I picked my favorite ones
Then I tried to paint you a sunset
but the colors all ran together
So I thought I'd write you a poem
but Dr. Seuss is all I know
I just can't find way to show and
say how much I love you
So I guess you'll never know
So I guess you'll never know
(chorus)
Never know that
you're what keeps me breathing and
I guess you'll never know that
I'm lost when you're away
You're my blue sky in the morning
my sunset every evening but
there's no way to show
So I guess you'll never know
Tried to plant a flower but I
couldn't find my shovel so I
bought you a postcard
but the words just wouldn't fit
So I wrote this song to tell you
that every way just fell through
so I guess you'll never know
so I guess you'll never know
Then I wrote my congressman
but he can't solve the problem
So I tried to make a video
but my internet was out
then I jumped on the sofa
like Tom Cruise did on Oprah
but you don't watch that show
so I guess you'll never know

The best teachers know that: English without GESTURES is like a lamp without light. Right?
Yes, gestures are the key to learning the vocabulary for good.
I noticed in my teaching activities that sometimes I found myself struggling to find the best gesture for new vocabulary or commands.
And when I was doing some reading about teaching ASL to hearing babies, I realized how descriptive those signs were! Almost the same kind of gestures I have been using in my ESL classes.
So, I decided to make a little fun experiment and see if there are any changes in the learning process by using ASL in my ESL classes.
Having 2 ESL groups with almost the same characteristics (like age, routines learned, level of English, same themes studied and positive attitude to learn) I was attempting to do a little experiment:
BOTH ESL HEARING STUDENTS WILL BE EXPOSED TO THE SAME NEW THEME, THEY NEVER SAW BEFORE, I PICKED I LIKE VEGETABLES.
BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM WILL BE EXPOSED TO ASL. THE OTHER GROUP WILL CONTINUE LEARNING THROUGH GESTURES AS WE ALWAYS DID.
THE RESULTS WERE OVERWHELMING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I BEGAN THE CLASS!
The difference in the speed and quality of learning between the 2 groups was highly marked!
RESULTS:
The groups who used ASL were more focused, relaxed, comfortable, and active in class from beginning to end.
When they couldnt remember, they started to use the signs by themselves to help remember the new words learned as if they had an ORAL INSTANT FLASH CARD build in INSIDE THEM.
They participated more!
They talked so much more too!
Their learning process could be compared to a ROCKET!
WHY this HUGE difference if they are both gestures after all?
Well:
-ASL is clear, easy and descriptive in signing the word that is expressed.
The sign is only related to the English word and NOT to the word in native language.
-They learn the sign language first because it is fun to do and easy and they sign DRAG alone the English world almost automatically.
-By themselves they started using the ASL as an Oral Instant Flash Card. Can you imagine putting a dictionary in your students brains? This acts almost likes that! LOL
My kids also understood that the ASL sings belongs to a word with a meaning and not to a fancy choreography of one song.
See you soon!
