ASL 102 Midterm Mer People

Hello,
This is my mid term for my second term of ASL (102.)

This is the picture we were given.

I enjoyed coming up with the story. I don't know why I chose it but I thought I would go for a comedy rather than a drama. Though I suppose its a bit of a dramatic comedy in the end.

And they all lived happily ever after, except for Travis and Olivia.

And I decided to just copy and paste the writing portion on here also instead of sending it through an email.

ASL 102 Mid term

            I believe that one of the major things I have learned form this term is to be more confident in signing to other people. One thing I always was raised to do was to fall back on finger spelling whenever I didn’t understand what signs my family was signing. That is one of the most important things for me to take away from this term. Last term I felt very uneasy about singing because it was a new concept but I believe that I have become more comfortable with “making up” classifiers in order to get what I’m signing to make sense for the person trying to figure out what I’m signing about. I know that in the video I am signing a lot faster and use my facial expressions easier. Before I did my final take of my current mid term video I re watched my ASL 101 mid term video and I noticed a lot of differences in the way I would sign and I know that I didn’t second guess as much as I did when I was first signing the compare and contrast of the first mid term video.

Ad on: Today in class, the 14^th, I really enjoyed working with the blocks and describing what color block goes in which position. I feel more confident with signing with classifiers. It was a creative way to challenge us. I really liked it.
