The signs ALTERNATING (not TAKING-TURNS), EXTERIOR (not OUTDOORS), ON, SIDE (incorrect location of line), and INTERSECT (not intersection)  are conceptually incorrect.

The signs ANGLES, PAIR, SET, LINES, lack plurality.

**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.
 

Alternate exterior angles: A pair of angles outside a set of parallel lines on opposite sides of a third line that intersects these parallel lines.
