Cursive

In these two essays, two authors talk about their opinions of writing. One talks about how cursive is beneficial to the brain, and the other talks about how hand writing is no longer needed because we have technology. These two authors both have valid points on the subject, in my opinion its great to use both handwritting and technology. I do agree that hand writing makes us remember things easily rather than typing. Growing up our teachers always had us writing notes in class. It made it easier…

Jersey, In 4th grade when we were in our writing unit everyone in the class could write in cursive except for me, I had missed the lesson that was taught in 3rd grade there. So at the end of 4th grade I moved back to Virginia and 5th grade came and once the writing lesson came I was told that the cursive lesson was taught in 4th grade, so until this very day I still have no clue on how to write in cursive. Recently, I was told that I was moving to North Carolina with my mother but that’s not…

remember maybe in first or second grade, copying words over and over again trying to learn how to spell them. Then, I definitely remember in third grade starting to write in cursive and learning how the sign my name. After third grade, writing in cursive became foreign to me. All I remember is knowing how to write my name in cursive so I can sign my name on things in…

English. Like I said back their it is now known as the "old English" On the movie it did mention it, as well as the article, it almost said the same exact thing. Back then this was the most famous and fancy English, and they wrote on cursive! Know we don't even learn cursive and we don't really understand old English, unless you are from other country and you do speak it. The way they used to dress was amazing, especially Queen Elizabeth I because she was the only one who could wear the rich…

style.” Japanese calligraphy developed because China and their shipment of presents to the Japanese emperor. The language of Chinese that was present in Japan at the time, was then later on altered to become the Japanese language. Hiragana, brief cursive signs, were made from syllabaries of the Chinese language. European calligraphy can date back to 3000 BC in Egypt. With European calligraphy, it traveled from one place to another often for example, The Greeks took the alphabet made by the…

once I do, I will just completely forget about it and be busy with another project. I remember when I was in fourth grade I was at my lowest point in writing. Our class had to learn cursive, start using pen, and neatness was key to success. I struggled in all those points. I had to keep scribbling out my ugly cursive, which caused a terrible mess on the binder paper. My sentence were horribly written out. I have to say I dreaded to let my homeroom teacher see my paper because I was not the…

writing my name in cursive and being told, rather harshly, that I was not to do that again because we were not being taught that. I remember biting my and nodding and struggling to remember cursive letters in later years. But I also remember a classmate cutting my finger so bad it was barely hanging on and then going back to class just fine with a band aid on. I don’t know if either is a real memory, but the more I think about it the more I realize that I don’t write in cursive and my finger is…

Keep Writing Simple: Until recently, I was sure academic writing needed to be complex. I thought students who used big words and wrote long sentences appeared intelligent; however, that is incorrect (Grellier & Goerke, 2014). Since studying as an undergraduate, I have learned that formal writing requires a clear message with references that support ideas. I must apply the following principles to improve the quality of my writing. Firstly, cliches need to be eliminated. Grellier and Goerke (2014)…

I sit on Erin 's bed next to Petunia the cat. Petunia is probably my favorite Augustine cat although it 's just so hard to pick favorites. She has the cutest orange and black pattern. Not that Charlie and Rosie aren 't cute but they 're both so mean to Petunia, she 's old and weak and her purr is the most adorable noise and she never tries to hurt them but they always attack her. The only sound is the sound of Erin typing on her computer. Our paper is due tomorrow and neither of us have started,…

First being that I am not artistic whatsoever, so writing in cursive and drawing that thing that was intended to resemble a heart was quite difficult for me. Because of this, I chose to leave more art out just for the sake of it looking worse, but I now know I obviously shouldn’t have done that. I would say I am satisfied…
