ASL Vocabulary – Handshape Stories
As we get closer to Spring, we’d like to share an ASL story about a mother bird.
The story is a handshape poem, taken from the book A Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly
In the book, the teacher receiving this poem gives it a failing mark, with a feedback “this does not rhyme!”, to which the student replies, “It does to me”.
This video resource will give your students a visual example of the poem to include in your next novel study.
Enjoy and let us know what other ASL handshape stories you’d like to see in this section.
