Before we continue… Remember, in English we use our voices to show inflection and meaning. Like this!
In ASL it is your Facial Expression and Non-Manual Grammar (NMS) that will clarify and give meaning.
NMS Review Remember your Non Manual Grammar for each question! Wh qUESTION YES/NO QUESTION
HOW? I’ll show you. NOW… Follow the same basic dialogue format and learn ALL the first names of the people at your table AND what “grade”they are this year– (Sophomore, Junior, Senior)
First which are you? SENIOR JUNIOR SOPHOMORE
So which are you? SENIOR JUNIOR SOPHOMORE
Use full sentences. YOU FIRST NAME WHAT? ME FIRST NAME _________. ME SOPH/JR/SR ME. FINISHED?
Practice the following list of names. The goal—smooth and clear, not fast or sloppy.
Practice each name: Ann Ron Eve BobTed LizPat Deb Jon Sam DanBen
Each of you will get a card with a new identity. DON’Tshow anyone your new name or identity! Practice‘til it’s smooth! Memorizeit!
I will come around and tell you if you are signer ‘A’or Signer ‘B’ You will sign the dialogue this time with partners.
All Signer ‘A’s will find 3differentsigner ‘B’s to sign the introduction dialogue. Remember – eyebrowsDOWN forWH questions eyebrows UP forY/N questions
If you are an ‘A’… …remain seated. All ‘B’s need to stand up --go introduce yourself tothree different‘A’swho are seated. REMEMBER— REMEMBER
