I have to give a 3-5 minute presentation in my ASL class and have no idea what to do. My teacher said no jokes or poems, but we can tell a story, sign lyrics to a song or sign a speech. So far, all I’ve been able to think of is the preamble to The Constitution, the Gettysburg Address and the lyrics to Imagine by John Lennon. If anyone has any other ideas I would love to hear them.

Have a little fun with something you know AND that can be modified at will.
For example, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Cyclic story. Basic vocabulary. Check the timing first. You could also get the class involved by having them chime in with signing “too big, too small, just right”
Are you allowed to use deaf poetry? Deaf actually have their own type of visual poetry. You may be able to find some videos about it at a local library. Dawn Sign Press is the publisher for the videos we watched with Deaf poetry and stories on it. It’s actually very beautiful poetry.
