A Basic Course in American Sign Language Full Class: Week 14

Your assignment for this week is to translate "You Are My All In All" on your own. I would love to put your video under the student presentation part of the website if you would like to provide me the link to your YouTube video. Remember that you can translate the song just using the words that are provided or you can just keep the concept and use some of the same or even completely different words. If you need to know any signs, you are welcome to comment below and I will make a vocabulary video for any requested that I didn't already go over in class. :) :) :)
