 figures or it they were on the same plain. I looked in the books and I couldn't find any information to help me understand how to use them. So wanted to ask if I was using it right and if that is how I would use it to show what the action was in the video. --- It is saved as Mark 6_30-44g.<br>>> Jonita<br></div><div class="plainMail">> <br>> ---------------<br>> <br>> Hello Jonita and Ron!<br>> Thank you for the question above. I am answering you on the SignWriting List because tomorrow, Tuesday, I will be away, so if you have further questions be sure to ask teachers on the SignWriting List to help you...they can explain this well, since lots of documents do have the rocking motion of the torso and shoulders that you mention...We call it tilting...Also, if someone can view the video of Mark 6_30-44g, that will help to view the sign you are writing.<br>> <br>> The symbols for rocking the shoulders from side to side, look like this...<br>> <br></div><div
