Feedback from All Class Activity

• Do not sign to the book! Sign with your group mates!
• Watch your parameters (location, movement, handshape, and palm orientation)
• Do not sign weak or too hard
• The sign MEET requires that you palms touch
• Facial grammar for WHQ, Yes and NoQ, and affirmative or negative is lacking, you must have your eyebrows downward
• Look at their face not their hand (this takes practice)
• Do not mouth everything or talk everything through
• Be patient it takes time!
