The signs fingerspelled VELOCITY perhaps because she didn't know how to sign the concept. REPORT, FAST (should be SPEED), DIRECTION (this form means HOW-TO or EXPLAIN), and OBJECT (lacks possive), are conceptually incorrect.

**English word order does not help the students to visualize the setting and can cause confusion in their minds. If students can understand English print, they don't need the ASL. But, if they don't understand English print, using signed English will not help them understand the text any better.


sentence– Velocity reports both speed and direction (up is positive and down is negative). Speed is the absolute value of an object’s velocity.
