Building blocks for ASL poetry b. Iconic fingerspelling and Characterization c. Fingerspelling, d. Poetry/Stories: Same hand shape, ABC, Number, Riddle and Poem 6. Advanced ASL Terminology While this course is still fresh in your mind, pause to review your learning, looking through the lens of your final portfolio that is due at the end of your ASLEI journey. Consider the following: 1) Identify any applicable Entry-to-Practice Competencies that may be related to the course objectives; 2) Identify possible evidence items; INTR 101 Page 24

3) Identify potential reflection pieces that could be used in the narrative of the Coversheet; 4) Use your organizational system to house these items and thoughts until you are ready to work on writing future Coversheets; (Hint: If it's possible to work on all or part of a Coversheet at this time, why not draft it now?!) and finally, 5) Check in with classmates to see if some collaborative thinking might be worth your investment of time what did others identify and how are they thinking of using the learning from this course?
