    The general argument made by Jessica Bennett in her article,”The Curse of Cursive”, published in Newsweek, addresses that cursive is unnecessary. Bennett argues that penmanship is irrelevant because the majority of the population don’t integrate cursive in their handwriting. She provides evidence that indicates most individuals don’t utilize penmanship from “in 2006, just 15 percent of SAT takers used cursive on the written test”(P.4). Through presenting that the minority of students employ cursive on the written test, she suggests that learning penmanship is not a significant skill to learn since the majority of student don’t utilize it. In conclusion, Bennet’s opinion is that being taught cursive is pointless.…

    Stamped signatures generally have thick lines that lack things written signatures have, like varying width of the lines and darker spots with greater indentation where 2 lines intersect. (Such the cross of a “t” or “x.”)…

    In the experiment, three Australian Universities participated in a joint study, the schools encouraged the students taking science courses to draw or “doodle” what they were being taught for that day. The researchers found that the students that drew retained more information than the students that didn’t, they also found the class more enjoyable and were engaged more when they doodled their notes. Other experiments they mention do not hold similar findings though, one study conducted by Elaine Chan from the University of British Columbia found that for recalling visuals is when doodling seemed to have a negative effect. The authors of this article put a link to a small clip of a TED talk with Sunni Brown, in her TED talk she defended the idea that doodling helps people recall information and states that doodling is the brain’s way to not lose focus on the learning…

    Studies show that writing in cursive helps with brain injuries, which doesn't mean that we should "ALL" be writing in curisive. Its just means that its a tool that can be used to help people with brain disorders or individuals who suffer from brain injury. Cursive can be used as a tool not just a way to write.

    In my College English class I was currently asked “Does writing matter”? When I first heard this question I immediately was going to say no, but I had a change of thought. It seems like the current topic of discussion is our modern technology. Often, when I think about technology, writing doesn’t even come to mind. I then remember that tv shows, advertisement, commercial scripts, instructions, directions, etc, all involves some sort of writing.…

    I believe handwriting is important in all grades because students will use this skill for the rest of their lives. Handwriting becomes part of everyday life from the time you are taught it to the time you pass away. You will use handwriting to take notes, make grocery lists, do homework, take tests, and sign your autograph. Students will use handwriting in every subject in school. Everything from math to drawing to language arts will require the use of handwriting on a daily basis. (Spear-Swerling, 2010, para 4). In the primary grades handwriting is linked with basic reading skills as well as reading accomplishments. Once students learn their letters they can then learn the sound behind each letter. This helps them sound out each word in their handwriting, reading, and spelling skills. (Spear-Swerling, 2010, para 5).…

    I’ve always had the desire to write beautifully, from penmanship to placement and flow of the words. I remember getting birthday cards from my Granny with elegant cursive writing. Attracted to the way each word blended so smooth and soft, I would get a piece of paper and mimic the slants of each word connecting each letter, more like one lowercase “l” after another, to the next. One day I’d be able to spell the words in my mind, and until that day I’d practice my “cursive” one squiggly line at a time.…
