Abstract
This is the first of three chapters drawing on a year-long study into classrooms in two schools to investigate the ways in which teaching engenders different bodily dispositions to learning. In this chapter, the focus is on how children learn to write in their first year of school and the particular forms of conduct they embody through the pedagogies their teachers employ.
