To sign *article*, hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, palm facing your dominant side and fingers pointing up, representing a page. Form a 'G' handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your thumb and index finger extended and parallel. Place the tips of your dominant thumb and index finger at the top of your non-dominant palm, then drag them straight down to the base of the hand, as if outlining a column of text.
To express this in ASL, you would sign 'TODAY', 'I', 'READ', 'INTERESTING', and finally use the sign for 'ARTICLE' by dragging your 'G' handshape down your flat non-dominant palm.
You can sign this by pointing to the person ('SHE'), then signing 'WRITE', 'ARTICLE', 'FOR', and 'NEWSPAPER'. The sign for 'article' clearly establishes what is being written.
Sign 'YOU', 'SEE', 'ARTICLE', 'ABOUT', 'DOG'. Remember to raise your eyebrows throughout the sentence to indicate that you are asking a yes/no question.
