    This document provides guidance on describing people in American Sign Language (ASL). It discusses the key aspects to focus on when describing individuals, including gender, ethnicity, height, body type, and distinguishing features like eye and hair color. Descriptions should point out the most noticeable aspects and ensure clarity on the identity. The document also outlines games, like "The Lineup" and "Who Am I?", to practice descriptive skills in ASL without relying on voice. Students are directed to additional online resources for more materials on this topic.
