About
This quiz focuses on American Sign Language (ASL) glossing, which is the written representation system used to document ASL grammar and sentence structure. Designed for high school students in grades 9-12, this assessment evaluates students' understanding of how ASL syntax differs from English word order and how to properly represent signed language in written form. Students need to understand that ASL gloss uses capitalized English words to represent signs, follows ASL grammatical patterns rather than English syntax, and includes specific conventions for different question types (yes/no questions versus WH-questions). The core concepts require knowledge of ASL sentence structure, including the use of non-manual markers, spatial references like pointing (indicated by parentheses), and the fundamental principle that ASL has its own grammar independent of English. Students must recognize proper glossing conventions and understand why this system is essential for bridging the gap between a visual-spatial language and written documentation. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying ASL language structure in grades 9-12. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student comprehension of glossing conventions, as review material before more advanced ASL translation work, or as targeted practice for students learning to document signed conversations. Teachers can use this quiz as a warm-up activity to reinforce proper glossing habits, assign it as homework to strengthen independent recognition skills, or implement it during class to facilitate discussion about the differences between ASL and English grammar. This assessment aligns with World Languages standards, particularly those addressing understanding of language systems and cultural practices, as glossing represents a crucial bridge between Deaf culture's visual language and academic study of ASL linguistics.
