country sign togethercountry sign together; then you may all sign all 3 questions/answers, or divide them up among you)

• Doorbuster (5 min.): Please get a copy of Career copy of Career Path Path and Political signs lists Political signs lists from last year’s ASL 3. Those students had a different teacher for ASL 1, so it is possible that you already know many signs on these lists, since you started with me.

• Therefore, In your teams, please make an “x” “x” next to the next to the signs you know and/or already know and/or already learned in ASL 1learned in ASL 1. If some of you have different answers (from a different school, or know more from other socializing), then you may use different colors – otherwise one color for the team is fine.

particular handshape (such as “5” – with at least 10 parts), or the alphabet (ABC story).

Now, create as a team! Your team will all all sign sign all parts of this all parts of this together together when finished (Today? or Tuesday if needed- when you are done working on it, though, you will present )
