AW: AW: Cooling Down Dance by Suzanne Pach

[Suzanne pach]

I have improved the document. See attachment...
I also changed the colours round, that was Maureens idea,
since it is probably easier to remember that Red is
Right...

> Well yes I wrote quite a number ob this kind of just
> "movement or dance" documents - it is fun and helpful at
> the same time. Just because it is almost meaningless you
> are motivated and supposed to read exactly what is
> written.
> So these kind of documents are very helpful to proof
> competence in SW reading even if we do not talk about SL.
>
> So in your case I would recommend to add the arrow that
> leads the hand back or to start the next sign with the
> right arm far out on the place with a tension symbol
> underneath in order to support the reader to read the
> document without guessing and hesitation.
>
> The good point about these "movement - documents" is that
> there is no wrong or right signing involved. In fact it
> should be performed from Alaska to Brazil and from Africa
> to the Netherlands ( " hi Tini" L.I.F.E.) the same way. So
> the author can play around to make beginners more
> attentive...

> Same is true with kind of pantomime like story  telling
> sequences in SL videos. If you are interested go to the
> German SignPuddle (Dictionary) and look for the term
> “Gedankenpause” – smile

>> Hi Valerie, hi Suzanne -
>> Yes I like this kind of movement writing a lot. One
>> sequence made me wonder
>> ...Suzanne - do you want the reader move the hands like
>> this? - diagonally
>> forward and back ...
>>
>> ...  Or do you want to move the right fist forward -
>> staying in front and
>> moving the left hand afterwards at the same distance
>> (both
>> hands in front of
>> the body) ...

>> Best wishes
