Important note while prepping: The words you are given here are not words that you just need to know how to sign but they are key words which should be treated as novel to the student. This means that you will need to introduce the key vocabulary with fingerspelling, sandwiching (sign, spell, sign or spell, sign, spell), emphasizing the terms and referring back to them as you go, spelling repeatedly and slowly/clearly, faceting, etc. You will also want to watch out for rare words, names, words that may appear in writing, words that he student may be tested on, etc. and spell these words clearly and repetitively as is possible.
