Slide 1

BEFORE WE START Open your book to page xv (the very first pages) and lets take a look at THINGS TO KNOW

Slide 2

Sign Space and Dominance The ASL Sign Space is approximately from waist to the top of the head. Dominance Which Hand Do You Use. Use the hand you write with in a one-handed sign. This is your dominant hand. Ambidextrous? Choose one hand and stick with it.

Slide 3

FACIAL EXPRESSION More important than anything else in sign language is facial expression. Without facial expression, your voice is M-O-N-O-T-O-N-E Signers need to see your facial expression to know if youre asking a question or making a statement. Hearing people might feel embarrassed at first. Dont! Youre safe in here. No laughing at others allowed! Go ahead! Leave your inhibitions outside the door.

Slide 4

Precision Is Important During class, watch me carefully! If you do not get the sign correctly, you could be signing something else entirely. WATCH : SUMMER UGLY DRY

Slide 5

Precision and the Five Parameters Signs have five parts: Handshape I...vs. .MY Palm Orientation NAME ................vs. .CHAIR Location MOTHER ....vs. FATHER Movement SNOW..vs. RAIN Non-Manual Signals (facial expression) I UNDERSTAND vs. ...I DONT UNDERSTAND

Slide 6

IS ASL ENGLISH??? NO WAY! ASL has a completely different grammatical structure. For example: there is no word BE (or AM, ARE, IS) in ASL. ASL is NOT hand signals in English word order.

Slide 7

EYE CONTACT This is one of the most important parts of ASL. You should watch and maintain eye contact. That means you look at the EYES more than the hands. Trust me and trust yourself. You can see the hands while you look at the eyes. In Deaf Culture (the Deaf World) looking away is rude. Watch me! Heres how you sign EYE CONTACT

Slide 65

Facial Expressions pg. 25 Convey your tone of voice while you sign. Your facial expressions should match the meaning and content of what youre signing so if youre singing I am happy then look happy! Changing the Facial Expression modifies the meaning of the sign, even if the sign itself doesnt change Look at the example on Page 25

Slide 66

It is normal to feel awkward or uncomfortable making facial expressions at first, but with practice you will become more confident and skilled. Without them you cant sign questions, show interest, or carry on a satisfying conversation. Think of learning facial expressions as a fun challenge!

Slide 67

Classroom Exercise pg 27 Look on page 27 at the Classroom Exercise R # 2 Matching: pair the vocabulary work with the NMS or Facial expression that best matches.

Slide 69

Using NMS (pg 28) You have already begun using two important non-manual signals when you sign yes or no. These signs must be paired with two NMS called the head nod and the head shake. Use these non-manual signals when using yes or no or when you affirm or negate sentences. Gently nod or shake your head while signing your sentence instead wildly exaggerating your head movement. Look at the examples on page 28 to see how these NMS are used in ASL Sentences.

Slide 70
