Here's an example of an example:

Facial expression eyebrows up, index finger points down 2x (This)
Fingerspelling for ASL
2 horizontal lines for a pause
Sign for AMERICA (fingers intertwined, making a small horizontal circle)
Sign for SIGN (2 index fingers travel in vertical oblong circle, alternating)
Sign for LANGUAGE ( "L" handshapes facing floor moving outward while rotating)
2 horizontal lines for a pause
Sign for SHOW (flat left hand, right index touching palm of L hand, both move forward together twice)
Sign for WRITING (flat L palm, R hand as if holding pen moves diagonal on floor plane, 2x)
Sign for WITH (2 "A" handshapes together, baby fingers toward the floor
Sign for SIGN (shown previously)
Sign for WRITING (former sign for WRITE with zigzag writing movement. This is only one variation)
2 horizontal lines for a pause
Fingerspelled S and W (another way to sign SIGN WRITING)
Thick horizontal line for the end of the sentence.
