Copy-Signing
Copy signing is an activity used to help students learn how it feels to sign. It is designed to help your mind and hands get warmed up, as well as get familiar with making new hand shapes, facial features, and using your entire sign space. When you copy-sign another signer, you mimic every move that they make. You must be careful not to mirror, but copy their movements. If you mirror them then you will be signing from the wrong perspective. This activity also helps you practice signer perspective. In addition, you can learn new signs if you are able to understand the overall context of what your copy-signing.
