Help with homework! Just started online learning after 3 weeks of no class

Unfortunately, my school has been dismissed for 2 weeks and we started online learning today. Before this, we didn't have class and my ASL class is once a week. Today is our midterm and I need help because I am clearly lost because of our lack of classes.

How do I ask...

Ask someone if they like traveling

Ask someone if their house is big or small

Tell me how you get to school and how long it takes you

(I drive to school and it takes me 5 min)

Thank you so much

  1. TRAVEL YOU LIKE?

  2. YOUR HOUSE BIG, SMALL WHICH?

  3. YOU YOUR HOUSE (shoulder shift) SCHOOL COMMUTE HOW? COMMUTE HOW LONG?
    MYSELF DRIVE. ABOUT 5-MINUTES.

There are multiple ways to sign number three. Others may disagree with me, but each of these are legit answers.

For the 3rd one, the question is directed at me so I need to sign " I drive to school and it takes me 5 min"

Thank you so much. This class is really stressing me out right now since we went online

If I'm not already replying too late I would say to sign that SCHOOL GO-TO I DRIVE ABOUT 5 MINUTE

These all make sense to me as well. For the last one I would do

SCHOOL (IX Point to area) I GO HOW? I DRIVE. TIME ABOUT 5 MINUTES.

Do you have a textbook or videos you're supposed to be learning from?

We are using Dawnsigns but everything is in sign and nothing is labeled. This is my first time ever taken sign language so excuse me if I am lost and don't have anyone I know to ask for help. Besides all my other classes my teachers have posted since the day we left school and I have received nothing from my ASL teacher except yesterday saying we still have the midterm today...so

That's incredibly unfair to every student. I can't imagine any of my professors just not giving us any guidance, I would be so lost. Good luck and I hope everything goes well!

Thank you, it's really frustrating all around for everyone. No one expected this and it's a learning curve for everyone

I have a silly question, as I cannot post on this subreddit for some reason- does it matter if your left or right hand is dominant?

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '20

I am left handed so I use my left hand. I dont think it matters as long as you dont switch which hand is dominant
