Many students today lack the ability to take notes quickly or even sign their name because they have never studied cursive or were only offered a short tutorial on this type of writing during their grammar school years. Our reliance on computer technology for writing purposes has further eroded writing skills in both print and script. Yet neat penmanship is essential for good note-taking and communicating our thoughts clearly to others in written form. Writing neatly by hand, furthermore, involves the creation of beauty and develops a student's patience and discipline in doing so. In this live online course, we improve our print and cursive handwriting through reading and writing about people and events from American history as well as drawing them. Why drawing? Drawing develops some of the same muscle groups used for handwriting. It's also lots of fun! Recommended for ages 11-18. An ADULT SECTION is also available (meeting time is different. It will start at 9:30 AM PST and end at 10:30 AM PST).
