Understanding ASL Classifiers: A Guide for Visual Communication

Classifiers in American Sign Language (ASL) are unique hand shapes that convey information about shapes, sizes, and locations. They enhance communication without replacing signs, providing context and clarity. Examples include using specific classifiers for people, vehicles, and objects, such as CL:3 for cars and CL:B for books. This assignment encourages creativity by having students cut out images from magazines, label them with classifiers, and present their work in class. Students will be evaluated on their creativity and understanding of classifiers.
