- identifying differences in different types of texts, for example by
looking at a monologic recount compared to a dialogic one, and noticing
differences such as the use of back-channels or hesitations
- conducting an analysis of a selected sign text, taking into account audience,
purpose and topic to explain language choices made by the signer
- noticing how signers can compare or contrast ideas by locating things in the
same or opposing sides of signing space
- noticing how signers achieve textual cohesion and coherence through the use of
connectives that create links between clauses, for example BUT and G:WELL

are (actor and undergoer)
- noticing how signers construct cohesive and coherent texts through the use of
text connectives such as lexical signs NEXT or G:WELL or NMFs and pausing
