  23. Read page 131 silently to yourself. What is Shoulder-Shifting? When do we use Shoulder-Shifting?

  24. Constructive Structure (Pg. 130) • Using shoulder shifting to ask and answer questions that incorporate more than one detail or piece of information. • This generally takes place of the word “and”.

  25. ASL Up Close (Pg. 131) • Shoulder Shifting is used for: • Contrasting: Multiple topics or pieces of information in the same sentence • Comparing: what more than one person says or does • Separating: More than one idea or concept in the same sentence.

  26. DVD: Using Shoulder-Shifting • Let’s watch the DVD about how to use Shoulder-Shifting.

  27. YOU ANIMAL! P. 133 Add a snap!

  28. Household Pets (Pg. 133) • Bird • Cat • Dog • Fish

  29. Accent Step (pg. 133) Many words in ASL are Compound Signs, which are two separate signs combined to make an additional meaning. Combing the signs for mother and father creates parents. When using compounds, sign each portion quickly and smoothly in one motion.

  30. AGE SPOT Signing Age (Pg. 135) • Age Spot: the spot on your chin where someone’s age is signed. • When signing “How old are you?” use your WH-Face and sign “old”. • In ASL-GLOSS is would read… • OLD YOU? VIDEO TIME!!

  31. AGE SPOT ASL Up Close (pg. 135) • Place a number sign at the Age Spot and then move the hand shape away from the chin in one movement. • You do not need to twist your wrist inward for ages involving the #1-5. • Moving the # away from the Age Spot conveys the meaning years old, so you do not need to add separate signs for year and old after the #. The AGE SPOT showing AGE-2 (two years old)

  32. Eyes on ASL pg. 134 • All age signs originate at the Age-Spot and face outward. • Using separate signs for 10, year and old is sloppy and incorrect.

  33. Four things to know about signing age: • 1.) Ages 1-9 always follow the Rule of 9 • (look on page 136 for example) • 2.)Ages10-100+ except 13,14,15 follow either variation, depending on the style in your area. • 3.) Generally the age numbers are signed like this… (look on page 136) • 4.) Ages 13, 14, 15 are signed like this… • LOOK ON PAGE 136 FOR EXAMPLES

  37. ASL Close Up (Pg. 138) • The Listing and Ordering Technique: • This technique is often used when providing details about one or more person or thing. • The Non-Dominant Hand forms a list with each new bit of information signed by the Dominant Hand. • Look On Page 138 for examples.
