WARM-UP

Act of signing your name indicates ownership or approval of the messages and ideas that you write down

It is an important representation of yourself on paper.

Signing your name to something you have written means that you have written that document.

Writing your signature can also express a strong commitment to an idea or binding agreement and should be used responsibly.
