Choose two different careers that you would like to compare (you may NOT use DOCTOR or NURSE).
Set up the first career on your non-dominant side using an ASL body shift.
Set up the second career on your dominant side using an ASL body shift.
Use body shifting to give at least three details about each career. These should be in time-topic-comment-negation/question format. They should be CONTRASTING details. Be creative. You may NOT use SALARY or WORK TIME since those were provided in the example.
Add a final sentence about which job you would prefer.
Complete the template below with the ASL gloss of your career comparisons. (Remember: ASL ≠ English. Depending on the sentence, you may need to add concepts like indexing or delete concepts like articles to your gloss. USE the resources for accurate demos.)
