Remain flexible, since we are all learning together. I am sure the Sequence will go through some changes later. At the moment, we are using the Sequence laid out in the SignWriter Computer Program, version 4.3. That same Sequence is also used in the ASL Picture Dictionary. Your students can have a fun project, trying to identify signs that use the Index Finger. Start gathering those signs and writing them in one SGN document. Then try to find signs that use the "Bent Index" finger...start a new SGN document listing those signs and so forth. It doesn't have to be a dictionary file, to be fun and creative. To learn the SW 4.3 Sequence, go to the SignWriter Computer Program Notebook, and look in the third manual, called SignWriter-At-A-Glance.
