ASL HANDSHAPE STORIES: Know the sign for ASL-POETRY, vs. (spoken)POETRY ASL Poetry types include handshape stories: stories • – – – • • Can involve one handshape (such as “ 5”) Can involve certain numbers (eg. #1 -10) Can involve the entire alphabet Similar to a “play” on language- rhyme, or such as spoken English tongue twisters with alliteration- when each word starts with the same letter (Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers…) Now, some sample handshape story videos

TEAM CREATIONS: Did you notice that some signs received unusual handshapes, or they used gestures, or classfiers a lot? That is fine! � Create your own handshape story (ASL Poetry). � First, decide if you will use numbers 1 -10, a particular handshape (such as “ 5” – with at least 10 parts), or the alphabet (ABC story). � Now, create as a team! Your team will all sign all parts of this together when finished (Today? or Tuesday if needed- when you are done working on it, though, you will present ) � Draft it on paper for us too- write the handshape/letter/number and the meaning next to it- I will put this on the screen for everyone to see while you sign it. �
