Read more about Name Signs on pg. 84 Deaf Culture Note pg. 84 Name Signs are highly valued in Deaf Culture. Having one shows you are accepted by the Deaf community because you made an effort to learn Deaf culture and ASL. Read more about Name Signs on pg. 84

Focus: Is sign language universal? Pg. 86-87 Read on pages 86-87 about the different types of sign language around the world. Compare our fingerspelling to those in other countries. Why do you think sign language is not universal?

ASL Grammatical Structures pg. 88 TOPIC+COMMENT The signer presents information and then makes the information either a statement or question by adding a comment SUBJECT+VERB+OBJECT This is used when WH signs are not needed. However, WHY often acts as abridge or connector between two separate SVO phrases.

Accent Step (pg. 89) Raise your eyebrows to make the Question-Maker face when using WHY to connect two parts of a sentence.

Classroom Exercise I (pg. 89) Look at #2 Bridges: Use the WHY sign to connect each sentence together. Sign these to a partner. I want to see you signing, NOT TALKING!

Classroom Exercise K p. 90 What’s missing? Sign each sentence by filling in the blank with a WH-Sign. Choose from: WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHICH AND WHY.

Practice Sentences Where’s the water fountain? WATER-FOUNTAIN WHERE? I sleep on the weekends. She can’t go to the party, because she works. Yesterday I was tired because I studied. WATER-FOUNTAIN WHERE? WEEKENDS ME SLEEP PARTY IX-she CAN’T GO-TO, WHY IX-she WORKS. YESTERDAY ME TIRED WHY I STUDIED

Possessive Signs pg. 92 Signs for mine, his , hers, theirs, and ours are called Possessives. Possessive signs follow the same rules as Deixis.

Possessive Signs pg. 92 My, mine Your, yours His, hers, its GLOSS = POSS-IX or POSS-his…POSS-hers Ours Yours (plural) Theirs

Accent Steps pg. 92 Don’t use possessive signs with names! Using them instead of Deixis results in ungrammatical sentences like “Mine name Joe” or “Their name Ann and Thomas.” Remember that deixis coveys the verb to be, not possessive signs.

Classroom Exercise M pg. 92 BOOK MINE or MY BOOK OUR TEACHER DEAF NO NOT (dir 1) POSS-his (dir 2 ) POSS - hers. TODAY YOUR (plural) HOMEWORK DUE It’s my book. Our teacher is Deaf. No, it’s not his. It’s hers. Your (plural) homework is due today.

Accent Step (pg 94) To emphasize the depth or brightness of a color, swing the hand forming the color away from you.

Expression Corner pg. 94 LOVE-IT Use love-it when signing about a non-romantic “love” for things or people. LOVE-IT is often used instead of “like a lot” or similar phrases.

I Want to Know (pg. 95) How do I sign “and” and “or”? Since the word or implies a choice, ASL uses WHICH to show options. The word “and” is used differently in ASL than English. Generally, ASL does not use a specific sign because “and” is implied by a slight pause, head nod and change of eye gaze.
