In my English Class i have show and >tell (go ahead and laught) I am doing it on ASL. >Andrea My presentation is next Tuesday. I am giving a general overview of signwriting. I plan to include: ~a description of signwriting including how it can effectively record all the 5 phonemes of ASL (hand shape, movement, location, palm orientation, non-manual markers) ~a brief history ~what some of its uses are, i.e.: recording history, studding ASL grammar and structure, help improve literacy among the deaf, a tool to teach English as a second language or ASL as a second language, a way for deaf artists to record their art in their own language. ~then I plan to show examples. i am very nervous about it and i will be very relieved when its done! ASL is a great thing to tell other hearing people about abcause most people believe ASL is just english on the hands and not its own unique, beautiful language. Good Luck! Kelly | ||||||||||||||||
