Dive into a microscopic adventure just like in Ant-Man, where we'll shrink down to explore the incredible world inside the human body. This workshop is designed for people who are interested in human biology/medical interpreting and how to better interpret effectively using classifiers.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Sign for parts of the human anatomy and learn to describe how they function or behave.

• Integrate classifiers, role shifting, and rhetorical questions to describe the normal process of the eye, ear, digestive, and reproductive systems.

• Discuss health conditions by explaining symptoms, causes, and treatments for the condition.
