We frequently hear critics argue that U.S. students can’t write well and that there is a “literacy crisis” in the U.S. What is the origin of these discourses? What do they have to do with immigration, national security, and economics? How does the notion that Americans can’t write drive the national push to test writing? Here we explore the history of writing and testing in the U.S., the “science” and technology of testing approaches, and how the rhetoric of assessment impacts the lives of Americans today.

Hand Writing-The things people come up with

Well I thought this site was something interesting to share. I happened to stumble upon it and it amazes me how we can use technology to create stuff such as this! This is a really good way to learn and see what letters look like and be able to personalize it. This could be geared toward any age group-whether you are 5 or 20-if you need help with your hand writing this is a website that can help you. It just shows there are options and creative and neat things to use that the internet offers us. You create what word (s)/letter (s) you want to practice and print out the worksheet and write away! (I thought maybe this was something geared to a more personal reference. If you know someone who is struggling to write this could help. Just another way to practice.)
