Our LEO club is going to held a learning sign language activity. 2 friends and I are going to teach those members. Sure we have learnt the sign language from the center. But I dont know where to start and how to make them interested in it. How should we draw the teaching schema up? Or any website to aid me? Please give me some advices?

I will need to know which Sign Language is that? ASL OR BSL?
I am recently taking sign language in school, and we learn in a silent environment. What this means is, no one, not even the teacher is allowed to talk while class is in session. Then the teacher teaches little scenarios. Like 2 people meeting up on the street…Hi, How are you, whats your name, nice to meet you. and then going from there. Sign language is fun and I encourage you to keep up the good work 🙂
BTW, our college uses the Signing Naturally workbooks, and suggests going online and looking up deaf events, and websites that help you practice.
First, teach your students the manual alphabet. Then move on to simple sentences. And avoid signing in straight English because most deaf people do not sign the way hearing people speak. ASL is how most deaf people communicate.
