One of my students is using a sign and I can't figure out what it means. What does it mean when he holds out the palm of one hand, palm up, and then uses his index finger of his other hand to make a small scratching motion in the middle of the palm. I think he's asking me for something . . .
Jennifer I don't know but I would be interested if you find out. Its almost like the sign for "show" but if it seems like he is requesting something, Im not sure what it could be.

Eric If your description of the sign is correct, he is not asking for a pencil. It seems like it is the sign for investigate or research. You need to have some context to go with this. what were you talking about before this sign came up?

Also, I am curious, is there not an interpreter? Are you a teacher of the Deaf?
