Analyzing ASL signs

ASl 1 students with Mrs. Redelings worked together in small groups to analyze signs in preparation for their test on Unit 12. Students signed each sign and broke down each one
into its four constituent parts: handshape, location, palm orientation, and movement. It was great to see every single student engaged in their work!


ASL 3 started to explore how to convert English text to ASL, but seeking to understand the underlying concepts and meaning of English phrases. As a culminating project for the grading period, they will be converting the lyrics of song or lines of some other written work to ASL. Although it will be challenging task, many students are looking forward to it!
