Subject: Flashcard ideas

Try clusters of signs in Sign Writing such as "give me" "give them" "give you" which ASL does as single signs. "family" signs which convey relationship "brother" "sister" "father" "mother" "baby" "same" "different" ASL inflections "light" and "turn on the light", "chair" and "sit" "touch" and "obsess" "improve" "deteriorate". This gives both directionality to the signed movement but familiarity with "touch" "hold" and other ASL inflectional markers.
