Open College Presentation
Saturday, August 4, 2007
I was asked by Mr. Kato and Kyoko to do a 20 minute presentation at the college today. They were having Open College for high school students to come in and tour the college and the programs that it offers. The presentation that I was part of included me doing a picture walk and reading Mrs. Wishy-Washy, doing some choral reading with the high school students, and then a question/answer section. It was quite hilarious actually. The high school students were not really quite sure what to think of me. They also did not understand what I was saying so it was funny to watch their expressions.
After I finished reading and doing my part, a college student came out dressed as Mrs. Wishy-Washy. She read the book in Japanese. She was too funny. Afterwards some of the other college students did Old McDonald in Japanese. One read the book and then many of them came out and did the song and a little dance. It was cute. They were supposed to be showing extensions of big books.
I think about all of the big books that we have in America. There are so many that I use in the classroom for lessons. In Japan there are only three that have been translated into Japanese. Mrs. Wishy-Washy is one of these of course and so everything here is all Mrs. Wishy-Washy.
I’m too tired to think about anything else that has to do with this so I am finished writing now. I am waiting for pictures from the presentation. Kyoko took them and is supposed to email them to me so I’ll post them when I get them.
