Hi all,<br><br>I was wondering what to do with the receptive and expressive view points,<br>when teaching signwriting.<br><br>As teachers of signwriting, would you include this explanation - or would<br>presenting the two possibilities create a problem that might not be there.<br><br>I've found that when I explain how to signwrite the different orientations<br>I explain the 'expressive viewpt' and never include the receptive view, so<br>as not to 'teach' them something that I will later have to unteach.<br><br>do you find that explaining the expressive view and leaving out the<br>'receptive' writing, acceptable?<br><br>thanks<br>Maria<br><br><br><br><br>____________________________________________<br><br>SW-L SignWriting List<br><br>Post Message<br><a ymailto="mailto:SW-L@majordomo.valenciacc.edu" href="mailto:SW-L@majordomo.valenciacc.edu">SW-L@majordomo.valenciacc.edu</a><br><br>List Archives and Help<br><span><a target="_blank"
