Ms. Uykimpang Speech and Debate 2013-2014 Thursday, August 15
You will be given a number to find your seat. • Please fill out the index card with the information outlined on the board.
Teacher Survey • Don’t worry about trying to get everything right – make your best guess.
Teacher Survey #1 • I am a first generation Filipino American. I was born in Los Angeles, California. I grew up in Fontana and have lived there for most of my life.
Teacher Survey #2 • My mom is a nurse. My dad has since passed away, but he worked in IT (computers) when he was alive. I’m the first teacher in the family!
Teacher Survey #3 • I have 1 brother and 1 sister. I’m the oldest child.
Teacher Survey #4 • I went to Kaiser High School in Fontana, and UCLA for my undergraduate education. I am currently a graduate student at CGU (Claremont Graduate University) for my masters.
Teacher Survey #5 • I drive the same old Honda Civic that I drove in high school (working on getting a better car next year!)
Teacher Survey #6 • Some of my hobbies include cooking, watching drama TV shows, and reading (surprise, surprise.)
Teacher Survey #7 • I’ve been a Lakers fan since I was practically born. Looking forward to better season this year…
Teacher Survey #8 • I have a 3 year old Rottweiler named J.lo (cause she has a big butt.)
Teacher Survey #9 • I’ve been teaching for 7 years: 6 years teaching ESL to adults (including one year abroad in Japan) and 1 year teaching 7th grade. I have also tutored high school students and TA’ed for elementary.
Teacher Survey #10 • I promise to be a caring, understanding, and FAIR teacher for you all. But also know that I have high expectations for you all to do the best that you can. I will not hesitate to do everything I can to make sure you do well!
Get with the partner who matches your card. • Once you find each other, ask him/her the following interview questions (you can write it down if you think you won’t remember.) • 1. Name? • 2. Where were you born/Where did you grow up? • 3. How many people are there in your family? • 4. What are two of your favorite hobbies? • 5. Something unique about them
Classroom Scavenger Hunt • Work with a partner to answer the questions on the sheet. Use your syllabus and information around the classroom to help you.
Closure: Write a short letter to me introducing yourself. • What do I need to know about you and how you learn best? • Do you have any anxieties or concerns about being in this elective? How can I make your time here easier?
Homework • Bring syllabus back signed. • Bring a spiral notebook (one with more than 100 pages) for use in this class.
