• 5 creating a short film on their hobby or interests, using a ‘deaf lens’ to edit camera angles to focus on signing space and NMFs
• 6 creating and promoting a set of protocols to be used outside the classroom for a deaf or hearing audience, such as maintaining eye gaze, flashing lights and hand waving, for example, standing on a stage and waving hands to gain audience’s attention
• 7 creating and presenting a signed monologue of an exciting or humorous event, incorporating pace and signing space to convey meaning
• 8 creating an imaginative interaction incorporating communicative styles and social behaviours observed in Auslan texts, for example, a digital persona or avatar in a fantasy world or imagining they are the ‘characters’ in a painting and creating a scenario and dialogue
