STORY  Story looks like you are grabbing and stretching taffy

 The sign for "tell" is sort of like "flipping a word" over to someone TELL

RHYME  Is signed like MUSIC with a R instead because rhymes are like musical words

FIRST  the index finger moves past the thumb instead of stopping at the thumb like in the other variation.

THEN  Move your hand out forward after  You can also start at the thumb and move to index finder, dominate hand in L shape

FINISH  The sign for "finish" is made by placing both of your open hands in front of you. Each hand should face you, with your fingers pointing upward. Twist both hands quickly a couple times ending with the palms pointing (somewhat) forward. You can also do this sign with just a single twist which makes it seem more "final

AFTER  Both hands are in "flat" handshapes. The base hand is palm down and doesn't move. The dominant hand is thumb-side up and slides over the top of the base hand.

BEFORE

HAPPEN  Hold "index fingers" out in front of you, palms up. Then roll your hands over so they are both facing downward.

WRONG

How to set up a person  Indexing  Pointing  Set them up in a place and hold them there  Name the person, then show where they are

How to set up a place  Introduce the room, its name  Then show where it is located  Always refer back to that same place when referring to that room/place

Rhetorical Questions  In ASL you use a lot of rhetorical questions  That means you ask a question that you are about to tell the answer to  You set up what your are going to say, then use HAPPEN or WRONG, then show what happened

Concept vs. Word-for-Word  When signing a story, you will sometimes not have the same result in ASL  You want to sign the meaning which is not always the same as the English word  For Example  You might say: “My mother picked me up” in Enligsh But you would sign…MY-MOTHER DRIVE ME GET-IN RIDE

Practice: Nursery Rhymes  Get a partner and a nursery rhyme  Without talking figure out a way that you can sign or act out the nursery rhyme so that others can guess which one it is  VOICE OFF (sign only)  10 minutes to work it our with your partner  Then we will all act it our  Everyone will write their answers on a piece of paper  Winner(s) gets a prize!!!
