Describing Accidents Using Classifiers
Overview
Students will demonstrate how to describe an accident scenario using classifiers in ASL.
Classifiers in ASL
Instructions: For this assignment, you will use classifiers to explain a time you had an accident and got hurt. This may be a real scenario or a made-up scenario. You will record yourself signing your accident scenario. For this scenario, you will use classifiers to describe the following:
Describe the barrier/cause of the accident (i.e. pole, car, puddle, tree)
Explain the accident (i.e. fall, slam into something, slip, car crash)
Explain the resulting injury (i.e. scratches, bruise, broken bone, headache)
*Note: The more detailed your scenario, the better.
Watch the below video for a couple examples.
Step 1. Practice signing your accident scenario until you feel comfortable with it. See the description requirements above, and review the classifiers lesson, classifier vocabulary words, and sample conversation for the week.
Step 2. Record your accident scenario.
