ASL TIPS: NOTICE THIS? Notice the sentence “ME TEACHER, YOU STUDENT.” You probably wondered what is that? That is called a gloss. It is how you translate the English sentences in ASL. You will learn how to gloss the sentences in ASL gloss for you to sign later in the lesson. Example: English: I am not Deaf. I am hearing. ASL: ME NOT DEAF. ME HEARING.

For this activity, I want you to create your own conversation with your partner by using what words you learn so far. Write in English sentences, then try to gloss it for translation in ASL, then sign it with your partner.

A: Hi, What is your name? B:My name is _______ A: Are You Deaf, Hearing, HH? B: Im _______ A: What school do you go to? B:BWHS A:…Ect Ect Ect

A: What is your fav class? B:My fav class is ASL!! A: You like Science? B: No. Im bad at Science. I don’t understand it. A: Oh I SEE B:Who is your English Teacher? A:…

FINISH UP THE CONVERSATION! ● Hi, My name is Goofy. My favorite color is purple and I like to be funny. My favorite activity is dating……. ● Now, work in groups of 4.. Extend the conversation by using the vocabulary words you learn so far. Make up a funny one.

Fun Activity: TELEPHONE Game! One person will sign a word, and the student will turn to other student and sign exactly the same thing he/she was told, and so on. The last student in the back will come up to the host and sign to him/her.

Culture/Language Notes ● One-handed signs: they use only ONE dominant hand. ● Example: WHERE GO BATHROOM? ● Two-handed symmetrical signs: they use both dominant and nondominant (both) hands to form a sign. ● Example: WHAT, LIVE, AMERICA

● Two-hand non-symmetrical signs: the dominant hand MOVES while the non- dominant hand stays. ● Example: NAME, NEAR, COFFEE

Now, answer these questions ● What is a gloss? ● What is the difference between one-hand signs, two-handed symmetrical signs and two-handed non-symmetrical signs? ● When you sign numbers 1-5, which palm position do you need to use? ● What else did you learn in this lesson?

We have completed Unit Two! YAY! Congratulations! You ROCK!
