Welcome ASL 1 (10 min.)• Doorbuster: Please copy all notes below:• 1.Signer’s Perspective- When you are watching

someone sign, if they place an object to their right, it appears to be on your left- but it is translated as “on the right”.

• 2.Think of the signer’s point of view/perspective.• 3.When giving directions--- a right turn vs. a left turn

is based on how the signer sees it, not from your perspective.

• Finished? The teacher should see you copying the signs to the right, or signing with someone--

Shapes Activity-signer’s perspective (15 min.)

• Have your comp. book out (or a sheet of paper)• In teams, you each need a set of shapes-(from the

teacher) and hide them from the others.• Take turns- draw/trace your shape in space with your

pointing/index fingers– the others draw it on their paper. Then, show your shape- did they get it right?

• Eg. If you drew this shape in space, did they draw the arrow pointing to the right like it should be?

Charades Instructions---(10 min.)

• Have your Lists open (from in your comp. books). You may choose old or new lists.

• Choose a sign and act it out while sitting down (or briefly stand if you need to do so).

• Whoever signs it first gets a point! Now, they get to act out a word. Who can get the most points before time is up???

Welcome ASL 2- (15 min.)• Doorbuster- Please copy all notes below:

• Circumlocution---To talk around the word- to use words/signs you know to communicate what you do not know.

• If you could travel to a Deaf country, you would want to use circumlocution to sign what you do not know.

• Examples: WEEKEND --- if you don’t know this sign? Use Circumlocution- sign: YOU KNOW, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY.

• RESTAURANT- use Circumlocution- sign: YOU KNOW, FOOD WANT, GO SIT, BOOK-OPEN, FOOD PICK, EAT

• Finished? Copy signs to the right/sign to someone…

Circumlocution Activity- 15 min.• In teams, each person should have a set of English words-

hide these from each other.

• Take turns- when it is your turn, choose one of your words- then use any signs and gestures to communicate the word, without using the actual sign for the word!

• The first person to figure out the word and sign it (or fingerspell it) wins! Now, it is the winner’s turn.

• Keep track of how many wins you each have- who can win the most before time runs out?
