Dear Abby Assignment

Cherie is so thrilled you are continuing to learn sign she asked me to include this picture!

Hello All,

Be sure to bring the Dear Abby Letter to class that we worked on today to sign on Friday.

You also need to bring a NEW Dear Abby letter that is ASL translated and ready to be signed to the class for Friday. Please use your ASL book from last year to help you write in ASL. Use the format that the book uses. There is an ASL book in the Language Center or on my desk.

For correct grammar order remember:

* Look for tenses
* Look for topics
* Look for object subject verbs
* Look for where you can place rhetorical questions (eyebrows raised with WH sign) in the place of, because
* Decide if ASL conjunctions are necessary
* Consider what the concepts are
* Decide if you should incorporate the use of very
* Pronouns placed properly? How will you discuss each person? Where will you place them?
* Would a classifier be a better choice then several unnecessary English words?

Be sure to look over your Dear Abby vocabulary list again and be sure you know all of the vocabulary. If you have trouble remembering, I would go to aslpro for assistance.

We will have a full class discussion on your letters and offer advise in the correct grammatical order on Friday. Remember advice signs first!

Please ask for help here. Feel free to ask your fellow classmates about questions you have. Some questions you may have would include: What sign should I use here? How can I set this up and stay the narrater, How do I structure the sentence?

I am looking forward to it!

Monica
