Where are you going?


Watch the video dialogue.
Sign the dialogue with your partner twice, once
as Kelly and once as Sean.
 Kelly: Where are you two going?
 Sean: Every afternoon we have karate
practice. What do you do?
 Kelly: Oh, cool. I work every day and work
out in the evenings.
 Sean: Oh, ok. Yikes! Look at the time. We
need to take off!
Analyze the Dialogue:
Which ASL pronouns are used?
 Which recurring days are
mentioned?
 What non-manual signal is
interpreted as “YIKES!”?

Practice Sentences

Sign the sentences below with your partner.
 Sean works every afternoon.
 Sundays Sean goes to church.
 Saturday nights Sean goes to the movies with
friends.
 Sunday nights Sean studies for school.
 Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons Sean plays
basketball.
 Thursday nights Sean plays games with his family.
Every Days

Every signs are part of the when group of
signs so they come first in sentences. See
EYES on ASL #5 to review when signs. Every
signs can be interpreted as “every” or as “on”
interchangeably, but don’t use the sign
DURING with them. Every signs are made
using the hand shape for the day of the week
and moving it down as if through each week
on a calendar.

Spatial Organization

In English the word THEN is often
used to show a series of events. In
ASL we use spatial organization. This
groups related THOUGHTS,
ACTIONS, and/or DETAILS.

Eyes on ASL #14: Along with spatial
organization you may also need to
incorporate the Listing and Ordering
Technique.
Spatial Organization--Sign

Use spatial organization to group the following
information:
 Morning: wake up, get up, eat breakfast
 Afternoon: go to school, go to work, relax
 Evening: eat dinner, brush teeth, go to bed



Morning: wake up early, exercise, work
Afternoon: shower, change clothes, go to
class
Evening: visit friends, study, brush teeth

Did you know? Notes


It takes more than selecting the “caption” button your TV for
closed captioning to work. Each word and sound is keyed into a
program that is then attached to the original material. If
material has not been captioned already, then closed captioning
will not work.
For many years the NAD has lobbied to have captioning offered
on TV, movie screens, and other locations accessible to the
public. Captioning does not only benefit the Deaf, but hard of
hearing and hearing people as well. Since the passage of the
American with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, captioning has
become increasing available and is now common on music
videos, news broadcasts, commercials, and home videos and
DVDs.

Dollar Twist—Notes


Dollar amounts $1-$9 use the Dollar
Twist. The number twists from palm

change is added.
Dollar amounts $10 and up use the
dollar sign after the number, then add
cents.
The garage sale…
Using the paper provided draw 2 articles of clothing. Use
a pattern and color signs we know. Add a dollar amount.
 You will describe an item to your partner. You will
move around the room taking turns asking your
partner to identify items of clothing and tell you
the cost. Correct or confirm as necessary…

The Sign Language Continuum
Notes



ASL
 STORE I GO.
Pidgin Signed English (PSE)
 I GO TO STORE.
English Codes (SEE) Signed Exact English
 I AM GO+ING TO THE STORE.
The Continuum



Why do we have PSE? We are too lazy to learn the
correct form of the language so we take its
vocabulary and use it with out own grammar
structure.
Why do we have English Codes? All manually coded
English systems were created to help Deaf people
learn English. Each has benefits and drawbacks.
What does the continuum mean? There is a wide
variety of signing among people. You must
remember that you are learning a foreign
language, not a code for English.
Concept vs. Context
Notes


Some concepts share the same
sign. Kind of like homophones in
English—bear, bare; there, their,
and they’re.
Use the context of the sentence to
distinguish meanings.


CLOTHING, DRESS, TO WEAR
SHIRT, VOLUNTEER
