Dominant hand You must decide
I am right handed and also my right hand is my dominant signing hand.
But… • Sometimes that is not always the case. • Some people are right handed but sign with their left hand • That’s okay, but you must be consistent.
Parameters of a sign Or Parts of a sign
Production of signs… …how can we explain??? • There are 4 parts to every sign; • Hand shape • Palm orientation • Placement or location • Movement • There can be a fifth attribute: • Non-manual marker (NMM)
In your journals… Your journals must be for this class exclusively. • Include your vocab. list and fingerspelling handout • What are the 4 parts of a sign and why would we need to know the 4 parts?
Your Journey Journal • You can organize it how you wish • But do include a table of contents You will be using this later in the year to prepare for a presentation on your ASL Journey of Learning
Homework • Teach someone how to sign the Manual Alphabet and the vocab “Survival Signs” correctly. • In your journal write an entry on how well it went, what you found to be most difficult about teaching that person.
