Introduction
Project
3
You will be signing an Introduction to be
recorded onto your Video Portfolio. These will be
graded. It will be your FIRST Expressive Project
(your next will be Sign Songs - which will begin
soon). You have about two weeks to prepare.
You will begin recording in class b
_______________________ and you must be completed
by ___________________. Youll have some class
time to complete your Outline and Mental Map.

You will create a MENTAL MAP or Storyboard
using the format of your choice. You will be
graded on this. You may use this to record your
presentation. BUT EYE GAZE IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Do not allow your eyes to be glued to your paper
or you will lose points and points will be
deducted. Natural signing, fluency, parameters
and grammar are also part of your grade.

Start with an outline then Use a map and draw
pictures, make notes, whatever you need to do to
help you organize your information. Only a map
may be used for your presentation. To help you
have a clear and naturally fluent presentation
with the correct grammar included.
