Week 1: Self Introduction

My name is Jingyi Yuan. I am an international student from China and this is my second semester in the program of Early Childhood Education. I am not a teacher yet, but I plan to teach languages in the future. I mean bilingual teaching so this course interested me a lot. If I were to write a book about myself, I would name it “Daisy” because this kind of flower is my favorite which remains its own style, not trying to attract any attention. For the “new literacies”, I haven’t heard it before and hope to learn more with you.

Here is the joke I heard recently: A man was at the airport for a business trip, he settled down to wait for the boarding announcement at Gate 35. Then he heard the voice on the public address system saying, "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Delta Flight 570 will board from Gate 41." So he picked up his luggage and carried it over to Gate 41. Not ten minutes later the public address voice told that Flight 570 would in fact be boarding from Gate 35. So, again, he gathered his luggage and returned to the original gate. Just as he was settling down, the public address voice spoke again: “Thank you for participating in Delta's physical fitness program.” Hope you enjoy it :)
