Discussion #8: Helping Others

The purpose of this blog is to help each other with your ASL stories. Please provide questions you may have. This is a great opportunity to receive and provide help outside of class. Please provide thorough information to your classmates. You may wish to direct them to additional resources, pages in the text book, and/or provide them with helpful suggestions and thoughts. Be sure to use aslpro.com and aslbrowser for assistance if you need to.
Be sure to post your questions and respond to others by Thursday 12:00am.
Here are some things to think about:

1. Do you have all of the requirements completed (remember that topic statement!)
2. Do you need help with a word that you just cannot think of how to sign it? Remember one word may be mulitple signs and an entire sentence may be only one or a few signs.
3. Are you incorporating mime, body language and facial expression to enhance your story or to take the place of things you are uncertain how to sign?
4. Do you use classifiers correctly? Do you have enough?
5. Do you need help with sentence translations?
6. Are you in the need of a signing partner to critique your story?
7. Are you becoming the characters in your stories?
8. Is your story too short? Do you need suggestions how to lengthen it?
9. Is it too long? Do you need suggestions what to omit?
10. Do you need to have someone double check anything?
