The Final Assignment for my ASL course required telling a 5-minute narrative in ASL. As true stories are easier to remember than made-up ones, I told the story of when I was trampled by a cow when I was ten (without breaking any bones).
Applying the course lessons with a story also teaches more than memorizing words for a test. It involves learning new words to correctly tell the story, including the hand sign for Scream/Yell/Call Out. A cartoon of a 10-year-old me (who thought she could scare a cow out of a manger by yelling and yelling at her) shows the ASL hand sign for YELL.
The C hand sign over the mouth arcs forwards and upwards Once.
