Handwriting

Mon Dec 8 18:46:55 UTC 2008

Hi Stuart, Stefan, Val and everyone,

    Stuart,  I agree with you.  I need to compare between a printed forms and handwriiten forms.

    Stefan,  thank you for sending us your attached sheet "HALLO" (HELLO).  I love reading it.  It is  wonderful for your students to try to handwrite.  Your sheet is an example of "quick daily writing". If maybe you don't like the sentence above, I change "learn how to handwrite or how to write by hand".   For example, I am writing a LSQ curriculum (grade 7th)

SW writing

    By the end of Grade 7, students will:
- handwrite a basic handshape from the front wall
- handwrite a basic handsahpe from the top view.
-handwrite a basic palm of orientation color
-so on

Hand waving

André

  Hi  André and friends,

  I hesitate to answer - what I understand is that you think about  a curriculum (?) about "quick daily SignWriting by hand" - is that true? 

  Well-  do you know André that I am teaching deaf students for years now reading SignWriting documents every day! But nevertheless - for some reason there is a big difference to become a skilled reader and to become a skilled scribe with SW-software. And it takes even more practice and insight and  perhaps a higher level of reflection to write by hand. So far my best students would try to write by hand only very few signs. Obviously it takes a lot of understanding to create a visual representation of what handshape in which orientation is needed. Now the students have to practice and practice and practice lots of different handshapes and orientations. Some other problems are connected with proportions of different symbols and the way - ( the best procedure) how to write certain movement arrows ... I am busy to write my second book - "Learn to write SignWriting" and lots and lots of single tasks are to be part of this instruction course.  I will keep you infomed. Do not hesitate to ask questions ... Attached you find a typical excercise sheet "hallo" written with all different kinds of pencils and colors ... 

  Take care 

  Stefan ;-)

  Hi Val, Anne-Claude and everyone,

   Anny,  I don't ask that you translate a SW handwriting's web pages.   You translate only two words : handprinting and handwriting.

          I mean that I need only a section "Quick dailly writing". I am writing a LSQ curriculum for a SW writing.  I understand that you need to write new books.  No problem.  I am trying  better to describe a SW handwriting (quick daily writing).

      I believe that Deaf students write a SW handprinting because teachers don't know about SW handwriting norms (Quick daily writing).

      Hand waving

    Hello Andre and Anny -

    There is no document to translate...smile...but there are web pages.

    If you follow all the links on this web page:

    SignWriting Handwriting

    http://www.signwriting.org/lessons/cursive/

    There are six sections and each section has several web pages...I do not know if Andre really needs a translation of those web pages into French?

    I have nothing else to give you right now, Andre...More books on Handwriting will have to wait for awhile, since I am so behind on other books that need to be updated...

    Have you seen the front page of our web site? Stefan's Deaf student Eduard is quite an artist with SW calligraphy, don't you think?

    SignWriting HomePage

    http://www.SignWriting.org

    Stefan will be sending us more photos of the finished art later...i look forward to seeing them!

    And I believe that Kim from Boston has also done some SW calligraphy...

    Kim's work

        Val, I am writing a LSQ curriculum from grade 7th to 8th  including SW reading and SW writing now.  But, I don't know about handwriting norms.  I would like you to explain me handwriting norms in general.  You remember that you gave a handwriting course to some participants one year ago.  I love learning it.   I don't mean that participants do their homework but they read only instructions.  Would you give us general explanations or instructions  of handwriting norms which help me write and explain a LSQ curriculum including SW writing ? You don't need an explanation of the handprinting.

        Best regards,

        André
