Abstract	:	This qualitative teacher action research project investigates students’ perceptions of past writing performance and the influence of these perceptions on current attitudes about academic writing, specifically writing in a workshop-model class. Too often, at the very mention of “essay” or “writing assignment,” students’ demeanors change from benign to distress. Even students at the Honors level often hate writing and believe they just “can’t write.” This begs the question, “Why?” Why do so many students at the highest academic level available to them believe they can’t write? Why are students so intimidated by writing certain writing activities? Is there something in students’ writing histories that drives this apprehension? Is there a relationship between students’ self-initiated writing and writing assigned by a teacher? Do the demands of standardized testing play a role?
