  1. ASL Children’s Story

  2. The goal is to enhance your skills with the storytelling genre of ASL literature.

  3. Great projects will include: • A clear plot • Convincing personalization, characterization, and facial expressions • Appropriate use of non-manual signals • Role shifting • Classifiers • Students should tell the story in a clear, compelling way to keep the viewers’ attention!!!

  4. This is a project that involves an ASL presentation and a written transcription of what you are signing in ASL GLOSS. The project will be worth 150 points and count as 1 ½ test grades for the marking period.

  5. If you do not do this project you will have a difficult time passing the class for the marking period!!! .

  6. You must work alone. • Minimize Englishy signs • Use the diamond structure of ASL narratives

  7. Must include: • 1 instance of role shifting • A physical description of each character • 2 different uses of classifiers

  8. You will have class time to work on this project.

  9. Your task is the following: • Select a story.

  10. 2. Put the story into ASL paying careful attention to the grammatical structures we have covered.

  11. 3. Create an ASL (through the air) version and a written ASL • GLOSS version.

  12. 4. Practice-practice-practice the signed version so you are able to sign from MEMORY, smoothly and confidently with EXPRESSION!!!

  13. You may present this LIVE in class or video tape yourself outside of class and bring in the video on a thumb drive for the class to watch.

  14. Your written version needs to be TYPED!

  15. If you enter the ASLHS competition, you will earn 10 points of extra credit on your project. 

  16. CLARITY • Can my audience understand what I’m signing? • Well developed story opening, body and conclusion • Logical sequencing of events, characters and details • Non-manual signals, facial expressions, role shifting used clearly • Confidence while signing the story

  17. SIGN PRODUCTION • How well is each sign formed? • Handshapes well-formed, precise and accurate • Know the parameters of each sign (HOLME) • Use space to establish tense, location and character position rather than pointing repeatedly • Smooth delivery of signs, not appearing jerky, confused and uncertain

  18. Presentaion Format • Your signing should appear appropriate to the situation-presenting. • Do not break eye contact • No nervous gestures-hair, rocking on feet, slouching, bouncing signs • Use a larger sign space • Use space to set up reference points • Facial expressions • Sign slightly slower than usual • Stand straight on both feet flat on the ground!

  19. If it seems as if students are not using the class time to work onthe project, this will become an out of school assignment.

  20. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!! http://aslhonorsociety.org/Literature_Competion.html
