- This connects back to the threshold concept in a meaningful way. learning isn’t just about grammar or structure, it’s also about how writing can shape identity, attitude, and habits of mind.

He asked why I hadn’t signed up for the class,and I told him that I did not think I could succeed.To my surprise, he strongly disagreed. He told me he knew I was a bright student and believed I could excel in it. Within a week, he transferred me into the course.
