One day, Emily's friend, Sarah, asked her to sign a story about her favorite vacation. Emily was nervous but determined to do her best. She took a deep breath, began to sign, and was thrilled to find that the story flowed smoothly and naturally.
Sarah was impressed and gave Emily a thumbs-up. "You're signing naturally now, Emily!" she exclaimed. Emily beamed with pride, knowing that all her hard work had paid off.
To her relief, she had gotten most of the signs correct, but there were a few that she needed to work on. Rachel walked around the room, offering individual feedback and guidance to each student.
Over the next few weeks, Emily continued to practice and review the material from Unit 8.8. She started to notice improvements in her signing, and she felt more confident when communicating with her Deaf friends and classmates.
