Before You Watch

Our unit is about introducing yourself as a person or how to refer to other people by their appearance and clothing.
Remember pointing is not considered rude in Deaf culture, it helps to indicate which person you're asking/talking about.
Use your workbook when watching the lecture videos.
Go to dawnsign.com (or use your DVDs)
Practice and respond to homework questions in your workbook.
Exposure to different kinds of signers is great and allows you to understand more than one method of signing. Remember, how everyone sign is different!
