Cursive

illegible zigzags. No effort in the world could turn my cursive into a perfectly aligned congruent font, slanted 30° to the right. Habits stay habits. I’d forget about the posture and continue tilting my paper fully to the left, bending my neck forward and closer to the table with my hunched shoulders rolled over. Seemingly uncomfortable position causing numbness down to my fingertips was, in fact, pleasant.…

Treehouse series to my eyes, and the beauty of cursive to my hands. I did not know as a first grader…

teaching. As a child who grew up a few years before technology became a big controversy, my school would learn to write in cursive rather than teach students how to type on a key board effectively. Do not get me wrong, my school has a class that I would go to once a week and would teach us how to type, but back them, typing was put on the back burner, and learning cursive was more of a priority.…

I feel like it should be required for Public schools to teach their students how to write in cursive because it is an important lesson that should be used in every day life. I think that just because technology is getting more advanced it doesnt mean that everything we learned by being taught and remembered through memory shouldnt be forgotten. We should be able to use our brains and gain knowledge that can help us remember and become familiar with certain misunderstandings. When we write using…

During the time that I was observing in the second grade classroom, I was able to observe a few methods the teacher was using during the writing period. Writing periods are usually teacher directed and include prompts or copying words in cursive. The only time that writing is student directed is when they free write (during any free time) or when they are working in groups. Throughout the school day, the teacher set aside 50 minutes of writing for the students. The writing period was used for…

The cover for ‘Poor little Dead Girls’ by Lizzie Friend does not accurately show the major theme that sometimes you need to let people help you to be able to do things better. The theme isn't represented on the original cover because the words are the design of the most important parts book than what it's about. In the novel we see the theme communicated on page 216 “We happen to know a little about what's it like to not have complete control over your life, but we know a lot more how to handle…

to me. Ms. Smith then would start the daily lesson writing in cursive, which was a surprisingly boring thing for me to like. I never understood the way to write in cursive but I deeply enjoyed the fluidity of the movement required the write in such a way. Halfway through the lesson she puts up five letters on the blackboard, A, B, Y, Z. Ms. Smith then asks for volunteers to come up front and write one of the letters you choose in cursive. Ben, of course, is the first to run up front without…

An example of this is cursive handwriting. Most people do not write in cursive handwriting or even read it. Pretty soon cursive handwriting will be like another language to Americans because its simply not taught in most schools anymore. Another example is that our handwriting is grammar. Americans don’t usually use words that…

article states, “The Common Core education standards dictate that cursive will no longer be taught in elementary schools” (Boone, John.). It is feared that by ending the teaching of cursive in schools, young individuals will lose their ability to interpret important historical resources such as journals, historical documents such as the Constitution, or, in this case, historical letters such as Mary Todd’s. Primary documents, cursive or not, provide one with first-hand knowledge of what was…

most prominent pupil was Muin. There was a wide variety of types of art including calligraphy, ceramics,and textiles. Calligraphy has two different types, Kufic and cursive. Cursive was used in everyday writing and Kufic Script was used in official and religious writing only. Kufic writing was very artistic and purposeful while cursive was straightforward. There are specific details in the writing and pages such as gold leaf and decorated pages, red dots, decorated margins, and colorful.…
