Question

Johnny wants to introduce the TIMBER story to his little brother. To do so, he acts the story out, playing the role of the lumberjack the entire time. Though he goes through the motions of the entire story, he does not explicitly speak or sign to his brother at any point. What aspect of ASL storytelling is Johnny leaving out?

Answer 1

Johnny is leaving out **direct address**. In ASL storytelling, direct address involves speaking or signing directly to the audience or another character in the story, which helps to engage the viewers and make the story more interactive. By not explicitly communicating with his brother, Johnny misses this important aspect of storytelling.
