wcc 50 years ago today, august 26, 1974 threw won students eyeballs...

 

KDEN FOA (get sum moa) 

jean akagi-minami-shibuya (was my writing lab and eng 45 instructor as akagi then minami for eng 254 and came back to work wcc she b shibuya and taught me da tree sentence structures that got me threw undergrad and grad school, my thesis, foa grant proposals and 19 annual performance reports...too dis day she get won paper i get won b on and she show everybody...she also had da bestest bestest readings – patriotism (read mishima’s biography cuz of this), modest proposal, the lottery, and horatio alger...had to read book books too like gulliver’s travels, temple of golden pavilion, and some dostovesky guy talking about brothers...all dis in 16 weeks...lot of skimming and scanning dat learned in read 101 – speed reeding...

jean akagi taught eng 45 and as was mai first eng class...was rough cuz had to go writing lab plenny plenny hours and try look da examples and exercises...did choke sra cards (remember those???) and reading for understanding cards and workbooks... 


aileen tsuji-yim – had her as tsuji for read 101 – speed reading and came back from osu and work for her as yim...taught me to reed fore meaning and not try read all da words with tachistoscope...one machine that used one stuffses like a film strip projector and show um on the wall so hole class can sea, butt showed one line or several lines or won word at a time and went thru a story/paragraph...den u had to answer questions about what the class just red...u had to really concentrate or u missed stuffses...(sew u stay try read words or meaning of all dis stuffses eye stay right?…if stay words and no can context um fore meaning den u stei get a, one, the, da, for, foa, four, fore, buy, bi, by, bai, bye, wen, when, so, sew, etc. awl screw up ur head, eh?...DA)… 

dis won sentence…start wit capital and end wit won period or something…yea, everybody no dat…it has won subject and won verb…try wait, wat?...dis won nada sentence and try foa put won comma hea, won semi colon dea, stick in won adverb, but u stay missing won modifier…no can dis one…watevas…dats how it started…dea was to bee many hours and days in the lab going from exercise to exercise…stay sure jean akagi and mitsue cook got sick of correcting the same mistakes over and over, but they were always there to help, explaining it one way and then another…finally learn a few sentence structures that definitely wouldn’t win a writing contest, but were perfect for writing my master’s thesis, technical reports, grant proposals, and still get me threw my work day now kine…as a bonus too learning how to write in da writing lab, aileen yim was able to sneak into my brain learning how for reed tips, identifying main ideas and inferences, more kinda big words but not supa big kine yet, and how fore read faster with her “reeding machine”… 

LESSON #2: Some of the people you help need a little practice and some need a lot of practice with many examples, pie charts, pictures, diagrams, comics, movies, graphs, streaming video, music, primero dinero, fill in da blank, circle the word, paŹ»i stik, and gadgets to learn, but if you keep supporting and coming up with new ways to present information, they’ll get it… 

pau four now…tu b continued anada time bumby…
