Remember the sign productions for 20 sentences for lesson 5 and 6
at lifeprint.com. It is not that hard to do. There is example for
each sentence that you can think and do some copycats from video or
pictures. It helps you to do self-corrections on your sign
productions. Please record from a webcam, then submit it on
youtube.com. E-mail me with the link to YouTube.com. If you are not
able to, then use flash driver or cd. So far, I an not able to open
files on cds that I received from some of you.

What is Spatial Agreement?To give directions in ASL, you need to
use the signing space in front of you and particular non-manual
behaviors to correlate with the actual environment. First, give
general information by pointing in the direction of the place, then
give specific directions, giving enough information that the
listener can visualize the route or location you describe. You need
to develop skills with your eyes, face and hands to show relative
distance, trace the actual route to follow, and indicate direction
of turns and location of landmarks.Eye Gaze / Location
