Abstract
The paper “Color in Context: A Mixed Methods Study of Multicolored Writing Strategies” explores the impact of multicolored writing strategies and nonstandard ink colors in secondary English Language Arts student experiences and performance in writing. This study utilizes quantitative and qualitative data collected from a high school English classroom as its primary source in conjunction with an extensive background from existing research in color based theories and strategies. The findings reveal a positive student reception of color based writing strategies, as well as emerging trends of the role of color in writing mechanics and organization, writer accomplishment, and student perseverance. Conclusively, the results of this research suggest a need for further research in the area of using color in composition to benefit future writing experiences in the classroom.
