The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
As always, Elizabeth, I really enjoyed these links. There's always something new to learn! Today I especially noticed the one about writing by hand. It really raises the question of how we best learn and express ourselves. In fact, Sweden has brought back paper books and handwritten assignments to its classrooms, and the Swedes are finding that students have better recall and critical thinking about ideas. There's just a deep neural connection between our thinking and what our eyes and hands do that's pretty fascinating. I just wish my handwriting were neat… 😉
My handwriting has always been appalling and is definitely not improving at this point, ha. Hope you have a happy week, Margot.
