Handwriting Analysis Mini Project
Step 1 Obtain a sample of someone’s handwriting (it’s hard to be subjective about your own writing—ask a friend,
parent, teacher, or switch with someone in class). They should copy a poem or quote (Dr. Seuss, The Pledge of
Allegiance, Children’s Rhyme, etc...). The sample needs to be at least six-eight lines long and written larger than normal
on unlined paper (copy or printer paper).
Step 2 Cut out the writing sample and mount it on a slightly larger piece of paper or small poster board. Projects will be
displayed so they should be neat and eye-appealing.
Step 3 Using the 12 characteristics we’ve been discussing in class, evaluate the handwriting. Show at least. Show at
least 15 characteristics on your sample. Circle or otherwise mark the section of the writing and in the section outside
the sample explains your analysis. I prefer you type and paste on your analysis bubbles unless you have very neat
handwriting. Make sure you address each of the 12 characteristics (you can address some more than once to get to at
least 15). For baseline habits, you may substitute “lines go uphill, lines go downhill, lines are straight”
