GLOSSING
We are now going to make the transition into American Sign Language gloss. Your text
book is written in this manner, so the transition should not be too difficult.
American Sign Language sentences are signed in the order of:
Time location subject verb object (subject) the repetition of the subject is not
necessary. You can also call this simply Time Marker, Topic, Comment.
Example:
English: I will meet you Saturday at the library at 10:00
ASL: 10:00 Saturday library I meet you will.
If one of the elements is missing, the sentence begins with the next element in the
pattern.
Example:
English: I will meet you at the library.
ASL: Library meet you will I.
Remember that quantifiers and numbers are adjectives and that adjectives in ASL can
go either in front of or behind the noun they describe
Example:
English: I like your blue bike.
ASL: Blue bike your, I like I.Also remember that head nods, shakes and eyebrow
positioning are very important to the grammar of ASL. If you need to write those into
your sentences and translations, please do so. The use of rhetorical questions is a
huge part of ASL. Use why in place of because when giving a statement that you will
follow with a reason/ explanation.
ASL is short and sweet. Do not use 2 words when 1 will suffice, especially when asking
questions. Instead of “You do what this weekend?” say “Do (this) weekend?”
When making sentences past tense make sure you use a time marker (yesterday,
recently, etc) or the finish sign to represent that the action has already happened. You
need only do this once, unless the time of the instance changes.
Do whatever it takes to help yourself succeed EXCEPT cheating off another classmate.
After completing this assignment you should begin looking at your story books and
using this information to make the transition from English to

doesn‟t mean it is easy.
 Pick a song that you already know most of the signs for… this may require
some time and energy in looking but they are out there

SIGN PRACTICE CLASSWORK
DESCRIBE THE SIGN
Instructions: Fill in the blank with the name of the sign that is being described:
25. You sign "__________" by extending your right "B" palm, thumb alongside the
fingers. Hold the hand off to the right and up a bit with the palm facing left and a bit
upward, with the fingertips pointing forward. Sweep the hand down and toward the body
(the pinkie side of the hand slicing the air as it moves backwards toward you), ending
palm up, near your body. Note: This sign can also mean: "HIRE,"__________"INVITE,"
and "INTRODUCE." Some people prefer this sign not be used in response to "Thank
you." Instead they prefer to sign "TRUE,"--which can be interpreted as "SURE."
26. The sign for "__________" is made by clapping your hands. Repeat. The left hand
is palm up and the right hand is palm down. Some people keep the left hand stationary
and only move the right hand. (Note: Do this quietly.)
27. The sign for "________" is made by forming the letter "G" with your right hand.
Twist/shake your hand back and forth a couple of times using quick little rotating
motions . Note: Some people move the hand a bit to the right as they twist/shake it.

near each other, (palms down) in front of you. Then move your hands apart while
96
changing both hands into "S" handshapes and then back into "C" handshapes a couple
of times.
32. The sign for "__________" is made by forming both hands into the letter "S." Hold
the right hand above the left hand. Circle the right hand completely around the left. The
movement is forward, down, back, and up. The right hand should come to rest on top of
the left.
33. Make the sign for "__________" by pointing both index fingers toward each other,
(or slightly outward). Rotate both fingers around one another in an up-back-downforward movement while moving the hands toward your body. Many people sign this
with a single arcing movement instead of a rotating movement.
34. The sign for "_______" is made by first signing "male" as if you were grabbing a
cap. Next, bring both index fingers together in front of you, pointing forward, palms
down. Note: Another way to sign "_______" is to sign "male" then sign the word "right"
by forming the right and left hands into index-finger handshapes, ("G" handshapes).
Hold the right hand above the left hand then bring the pinky side of the right hand down
onto the thumb side of the left hand, (the right "G" hand resting on top of the left "G"
hand). Make sure to sign each part smoothly with no break in between. What is the
sign?
35. Start by holding the right-hand arm in front of you, pointing forward, palm up, index
finger pointing upward. Move your arm so that your index finger "draws" a small circle in
the air about the size of a quarter. Note: The movement is in your shoulder and elbow,
not in your wrist. What is the sign?
36. The sign for "__________" is made by forming both hands into the letter "H." Hold
your right hand a couple of inches above the left. Lower your right hand--striking the
middle finger of your right hand down on top of your left index finger. Then move both
hands down and outward to the sides.
37 The sign for “_________” is made by forming the right hand into the letter “F” with
the tip of the index finger and the tip of the thumb just slightly apart. Place the index
finger and thumb near your cheek just under and off to the right of your nose. Move
your hand to the right a couple of inches while bringing the tip of the index finger and
the tip of the thumb together.
97
38. The sign for “__________” is made by forming the letter “Y” with your right hand.
Twist/shake your hand back and dorth a couple of times using quick little rotating
motions. Some people move the hand a bit to the right as they twist/shake it.
39. Make the sign for "__________" by placing the fingers of your right hand (palm
back) against your lips or chin. Move your hand down and away with a twisting motion
so that your palm is facing downward.
40. The sign for "__________" is made by forming your right hand into the letter "C."
Move your hand down the middle of your chest toward your belly.
41. The sign for "__________" is made by placing the middle knuckle of an "X"
handshape (or the thumb-tip of an "A" handshape) on your cheek. Twist your hand back
and forth a couple times, pivoting on the knuckle.
42. The sign for "__________" is made by holding your right "B" hand close to the right
temple or cheek with your palm facing left and fingertips pointing up. Move your hand
forward in a slight up then down arcing motion, (as if slicing the air)
43. Make the sign for "__________" by pointing both index fingers toward each other, or
palms forward. Move both hands away from your body using either an arching or an
alternating- circular motion toward the desired place. Many people use a sweeping arc
motion instead of a circular motion.
44. Start by bending both arms at the elbows. Then put your forearms together,
horizontally, palms up, right arm on top. The right arm is pointing left and the left arm is
pointing right. Then gently rock your arms from side to side. Note: Some people rock the
arms up and down instead of side to side. What is the sign?
45. The sign for “_______” is made by slapping the palm of your right “B” hand against
your right leg a couple of times. Note: some people slap their leg once then snap their
fingers once. Others simply snap their fingers from a “D” to a “G” handshape.

SIGN PRACTICE CLASSWORK
DESCRIBE THE SIGN
75. The sign for "__________" is made by holding one or both of your hands
horizontally in front of you. Your palms should face you, right hand a couple of inches
above the left. Move your hands in a circular motion up, out, down, and back in again a
couple times. The hands move in the same direction in a simultaneous fashion, not
alternating.
76. The sign for "__________" is made by pointing both of your index fingers down. Rub
the sides of the index fingers together a few times in a short, alternating, up and down
motion.
77. Make the sign for "__________" by forming the letter "H" with the right hand, palm
up (or slightly back). Hold your left hand in a cupped shape, palm-up. Lift the right hand
from your left hand toward your mouth a few times as if eating soup.
78. The sign for "__________" is made by placing both of your open (5) hands in front
of you. Each hand should face you, (or they can face somewhat palm up), with your
fingers extended and spread. Shake with a twisting motion both hands quickly (either
once or) a couple of times with an outward twisting motion ending with the palms facing
somewhat outward and/or a little downward.
102
79. Make the sign for "__________" by closing the fingers of the right hand into a
flattened "O" shape, point the fingertips down. Wrap the fingers and thumb of the left
hand around the flattened "O" of the right hand. The left hand should resemble the letter
"C." Pull the right hand up and out of the left "C" hand.
80. Make the sign for "______" by placing the thumb of your right "5" hand against your
chin. Some people wiggle the fingers a little. Other people just "jab" their chin twice.
What is the sign?
81. The sign for "__________" is made by holding your right "A" hand near your right
cheek. Then twist or shake your hand slightly. Note: Instead of twisting or shaking the
hand, some people use a very small, repeated, circular motion, (down, right, up, left,).
82. The sign for “____” is made by forming the right hand into a “Y” handshape. Place
your thumb against or a little higher than your temples. Twist your hand so that your
pinkie points upward. Twist the hand forward an inch or two then upward again. (Can
be done with two hands for storytelling).
83. Make the sign for “____” by placing the tip of your right index finger or middle finger
on your earlobe. As you move your hand away from your ear form the letter “Y” and
twist/shake it slightly. Some people do this sign with a “G” handshape.
84. "__________" is signed by holding up the left "B" palm, fingertips pointing up. Place
your right index finger (pointing up) alongside the palm of your left hand, then move the
finger upward a couple of inches. Note: Another way to do this sign is to use the bent,
right "B" hand to indicate the height of a person. Think of placing your hand on top of a
tall person's head.
85. The sign for "__________" is made by touching your lips with the fingertips of your
right "B" hand, (or both hands if you are especially thankful). Move your hand away from
your face, ending with the palm upward.
86. The sign for "__________" is made by forming "claw" hands and placing your
fingertips against your stomach, (or your chest). Pull both hands forcefully up and
outward. Make sure you use an appropriate facial expression!
87. The sign for "__________" is made by closing both hands into "S" hands, thumbsides facing, knuckles to the front, palms down. Strike your hands together a couple
times.
103
88. Make the sign for "__________" by forming your right hand into the letter "V." Turn
your left palm upward. Jab the fingertips of the right "V" hand into your left palm a few
times.
89. Make the sign for "__________" by forming the letter "C" (loosely) with the right
hand. Place your thumb and fingertips in front of your slightly opened mouth. Quickly
twist your hand out (palm turning somewhat forward) and down.
90. The sign for "__________" is made by forming the letter "a" with each hand. Place
both your hands together, palms facing each other, knuckles facing forward, thumbsides facing up.
91. The sign for "__________" is made by touching the fingertips and thumb of the right
hand (similar to a flattened "O" handshape) on the cheek near the mouth. Then move
(jump) your hand an inch or so backward to a point on the cheek closer to your ear.
92. The sign for "__________" is made by touching your forehead with the thumb of
your right hand. The right hand should be open in a "5" handshape. Now, move your
hand forward in one or two small arches. Some people make only one arch, others
make two. What is the sign?
93. The sign for “_____” is made by forming the letter “V” with your right hand. Your
left forearm is extended with your hand closed (or open, either is fine). Put your right
hand near the left wrist and move it up your forearm while opening and closing your “V”
handshape in a “scissors like motion as if cutting the hair on your arm.
94. Make the sign for “______” by placing the tip of your right index finger (or middle
finger) on your right ear. As you move your hand away from your ear, form the letter “S”
and twist/shake it slightly.
95. The sign for "__________" is made by holding out the left "S" hand, palm right,
thumb side up. Hold your right hand in a "B" shape, palm down, a few inches farther
away and slightly above the left "S" hand. Bring the right "B" palm backward toward you
brushing it over the top (thumb side) of your left fist.
96. The sign for "__________" is made by closing one of your hands into a fist, (either is
fine, I tend to place my left "A" hand on my right palm). Then place your fist on the
outstretched palm of your other hand. Raise both hands together a couple of inches.
97. The sign for "__________" is made by placing both hands in front of your face,
palms in, fingers slightly spread and relaxed or curved very slightly. Bring both of your
hands down the length of your face. Note: You don't actually touch your face.
104
98. The sign for "__________" is made by forming both hands into the letter "a." With
the thumb side pointing upward, place both hands near your shoulders (or at the base
of your neck) an inch or two out from the body. Now move both hands downward and
together, coming to rest on your lower belly.
99. The sign for "__________" is made by forming your right hand into the letter "C."
Place your right hand on your upturned left palm. Some people bounce the right hand
slightly one time.
100. Make the sign for "________" by forming both hands into the letter "S." Hold both
hands in front of you and shake them back and forth quickly.
