Giving and Recieving Directions in ASL

Directions are not easy for ASL students to learn. I have provided you with clips of students giving directions. I have also included the clip I showed in class so you may view it again to help you develop your directions siging skills.

Practice signing how to get to these locations for Friday. (use our room as your starting point)
-Library
-Somers Lounge
-Mail room
-Chapel

Please ask each other questions about the clips as well as any questions you may have in regards to giving directions in ASL. The clips include a range of skill levels, keep in mind what components make good directions when using ASL.
