How the negative experience is perceived is how the writer will approach the writing assignment. Memories of my third grade teacher standing over me making sure that every letter was formed correctly still haunts me to this day. A friend frustrated over having their paper turned back to them with red ink marks all over the paper is also one of my unfavorable memories of writing. The teachers in both instances were part of this negative experience. The memories were ingrained into my brain and to this day have some type of effect on my writing.

BK’s memories of forming letters in kindergarten were viewed by her as being tedious work. She remembers the big lined paper and

Other times being taught by someone close to you reinforces children like RW to learn faster and perform at a higher level than some. She was taught how to write the letters of the English alphabet by a neighbor. She was a foreigner to the English language but was very proud to find that she learned faster than some people in his class.

The motivation that BK experienced could be viewed as negative with a positive outcome. She decided that the taunting was unbearable so she learned something that was difficult to alleviate the taunting. The positive outcome would be that she achieved her goal, but I wonder if she approaches a writing assignment as an enjoyable task.

Parents also play a role in developing their children’s writing. Some may remember when their moms and dads built their name out of baby blocks, while they started mimicking their parents’ behavior by connecting the letters to form what they considered at that time to be some type of word. They would share and enjoy this teachable moment, not realizing the implications this would have on them and their future writing career.

Cursive is a creative skill taught in third grade. Teachers stand at the chalkboard introducing a new twist to write the same letters learned previously in school. The new loops, curves and slants can be confusing for some and intriguing for others.

Teachers also play a positive role in learning how to write. In school lessons are continued and students respond differently to the same writing experience. First grade you learn to write the letters correctly and either enjoy the experience, (because you are good at it) or hate it (because you struggle with it).
