I felt quite confident using finger spellinging and BSL
I enjoyed using the script
I enjoyed telling the story

and drink
Next time I will tell a longer story
I felt it went well
I felt it went really well
It was ok
I was very nervous
I was really nervous
I was a little nervous
I was confident
I could have used more in my story
I didn’t really enjoy doing finger spelling in front of someone else, however I realise this
is the only way to become confident and gain more experience
The more practice I’m getting the more confident I feel
It’s a good idea to practice the script before doing the video as it gives me a better
understanding of BSL and finger spelling
The more I practice the better I’m getting at BSL and finger spelling
