ANNOUNCEMENT #2 IMPORTANT READ!!! MORE ADDED ON FRIDAY!

Be sure to read announcement #1 as well.


I am placing our weekly agenda and vocabulary that we have learned this week here. Due to the problems that I am experiencing with emailing my students, I have decided to place weekly announcents, angenda, and important information here each week. Be sure to check for announcements as well as my weekly topic postings.

IMPORTANT: DUE TO THE LARGE VOLUME OF ATHLETES I AM CHANGING OUR QUIZZES TO MONDAYS.

ASL 1101-001 &002 Agenda

• Season signs
• Meeting our classmates (fingerspelling receptively and expressively)
• Understanding ASL does not use articles (is, was, were, are, etc)
• WHQ questions require our eyebrows to be downward and we lean slightly forward

All Class Activity

• What is your name?

o NAME YOU? (Eyebrows down)

• My name is Monica

o MY NAME M-O-N-I-C-A

• It is nice to meet you.

o NICE MEET-YOU

Feedback from All Class Activity

• Be aware of bouncing when fingerspelling, hold hand still
• Do not hold hand high
• The sign MEET requires that you palms touch
• Facial grammar for WHQ is lacking, you must have your eyebrows downward
• Look at their face not their hand (this takes practice)
• Do not mouth everything
• See your name as a unit not individual letters this will help you not to bounce
• If you cannot read their fingerspelling do it with them
• Relax your hand
