Level:  Introductory

Maximum Number of Participants: 24

Total hours: 12 hours

The two sessions (two days) will provide the participants a definition of classifiers in ASL, a discussion and demonstration of the three kinds of classifiers (representative. descriptive, and instrumental).   The sessions will include small group exercises for practice in improving their use of the classifiers presented.  Each participant will identify strengths and areas needing professional development.  Students will learn the three types of classifiers, learn and use the representative classifiers (animate and inanimate),  the descriptive classifiers (size-and-shape, extent, perimeter, and pattern and texture), and the instrumental classifiers.
