SHARK: The
American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "shark"
SHARK (version 1)
You know that fin that is on top of a sharks back that sticks up
above the water as it swims? Do you know what that fin is called?
It's called the "dorsal fin." It helps keep the sharks body
stable as it slices through the water on its way to bite your leg
off.
Um...too much information? Sorry. Hey, here's the sign:
Pretend you are a shark. Get in the mood. Now, hold a
flat hand at the top of your head as if you've got your very own
dorsal fin. Now, go bite somebody's leg. THAT'S IT!
Good! You got it!
SHARK (version 2)
