ASL 1- a note before your
Doorbuster 

This six weeks, you will be preparing a 1 minute
signing (1 min. minimum), as a test grade.

You will be signing in private (not in front of the
class).

I will give you more details/requirements
tomorrow, but today we are practicing ASL word
order, to help you prepare.

Ready?  then, next slide- onward to your
Doorbuster!!!
Welcome ASL 1- Doorbuster: Please
copy all notes below







ASL word order: TIME OBJECT SUBJECT VERB
Gloss: --- SISTER ME
HAVE
English:
“I have a sister.”
Or, you can phrase it as a rhetorical question (where you
ask and answer it- not really asking for someone to
answer)
Gloss: FAMILY ME HAVE? SISTER 1, BROTHER, 2
English: “I have one sister and two brothers in my family.”
Now, I will explain (recording will play while I sign-I will
play this recording from the front- you may begin the next
slide if you are done with the Doorbuster before I sign).
Eg. “I went to the store yesterday.”

Now, copy each of these English sentences, and then gloss these ten
sentences- a word in capital letters for each sign (in your composition
book). Finished? Compare with a friend, fix if needed (100% for trying,
you will get to correct it). We will also sign them as a class later.
Reminder: English: Subj. Verb Obj.; ASL: TIME OBJ. SUBJ. VERB
1. “The teacher knows English.”
2. “The student knows Spanish.”
3. “The man goes to college.”
4. “The woman is a teacher.”

7. “Where do you go to school?”

Finished? Copy Unit B, Part 3 (and Parts 1 and 2 if you have time)
-use the icons on the iPad to find the unit if possible (or, see me for help
if you cannot find it). I will know you are done when I see you signing the
new unit  When everyone is done, we will see answers!
Wait--- ASL 1--
Do not go on to the next slide until I
have checked your gloss for
completion!!!  Then you can check
answers– not yet!!!

Just pause, and either watch Unit B
videos again, or if you are ready, look at
the list, point to a sign, and see if your
group knows it!!! 

Welcome ASL 2! A quick note
before your Doorbuster:

This six weeks, using Unit 13 vocabulary and old signs, you
will be signing about a room you design in your house (real
or imaginary house).

This will be a test grade.

Remember, Unit 13 list is on the front table.

I will give you details/instructions tomorrow.

But, today’s work is to prepare you and help you practice
what you need to be able to do- so work hard and ask for
help when needed!

Ready?  On to the next slide and Doorbuster!!!
Welcome ASL 2! Today- Doorbuster:
Please copy all notes below this lineTips on correctly signing items in a room:
 1. To describe a room, sign from the door
perspective (as if standing at the door,
looking in).


2. Be sure you have transitions from item to
item.


Eg. use a building feature (corner, door) or the most
recent item (table, couch); then show the new item
going from the last one (“place” the new item in
space).
3. Classifiers will help a lot: these help you
show shape, size, and location in the room.
Finished with Doorbuster? Now, make sure your team
has only one Signing Naturally Level 2 book
(gray with pink)

Shhh- no voice continues  - peer checks- “shh”
your friend so they can still get a 100% (up to 3 times)

Assignment- signed (no writing )
 10 min.-Read all of pages 2-3 (this will help you a lot on the
room design test), and sign the 8 classifiers in the picture.
 10 min.- Watch the Unit 13 video and copy all signs to learn
them.
 10 minutes: open the book to pages 4-5: make sure all in
your group can see the pictures. Take turns signing an item
in the photo (locating it-right, left, high, low using classifiers),
and others in the group should point to the items. Each
person takes a turn signing an item on picture one, then do
pictures 2-4.
 I will sign an example when it appears many are ready 
