1. BELL WORK
1) What is the story about? 2) When walking down the hall, what does the signer see on the wall? 3) What does the picture do to scare the person? 4) When the person runs away what do they begin to feel? 5) What happens to the person? What do they fall down and land where? 6) What almost attacks the person? 7) In the end, what did the Haunted House really end up being?

2. Haunted House Story Presentation
You will re-tell Peter Cook’s Haunted House handshape story!
I have provided the gloss for you to copy and to follow, however you must note where you must roleshift and incorporate facial expression to bring the story to life. THE FACIAL EXPRESSION IS KEY.
You will present this in front of me only and it must be memorized.

3. What will I be looking for?
Use of roleshifting
Exaggerated facial expression
Use of one handshape: “B”
Accurate sequence of events
Story Completion
No pauses
Memorization
