    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.…

    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…

    I always prefer writing in cursive than keyboarding. Because I think when I am writing on paper, I will have a smooth train of thinking for my writing. In addition, I enjoy the process of writing on the paper. I like to listen to the sound that the pen scratches the paper. However, when I am typing essay on the computer, I cannot write smoothly because I usually write some grammar faults in my sentences and the Word will digitally find the faults and display them. I do not enjoy seeing some dashes under my sentences. Therefore, I have to stop to write and correct the faults. Then, my train of thinking is interrupted, and I always fell upset about that. As a result, I prefer writing in cursive than typing.…

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.…

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.…
