  • Volume 4 2009
    CITY TECH WRITER Volume 4 2009 Outstanding Student Writing From All Disciplines Jane Mushabac, Editor in Chief Cover: “Keyboard” by Jessica Hernandez Art Director: Lloyd Carr New York City College of Technology City University of New York Preface What’s it like being an x-ray technologist at the Hospital for Joint Diseases? What’s it like seeing your uncle on an old I Love Lucy show with Desi Arnaz? What’s it like being from Cameroon and the Bronx? What’s it like in a Chinese bakery? What was it like watching CNN on Election Night 2008? The student writers of City Tech Writer Volume 4 share their pleasure in new technologies and their memory of old dances. They celebrate thermodynamics—and family resilience. They bring thoughtful questions to bear on predatory lending, faulty $50 nylon slings, and a bedbug epidemic in New York. They’re grateful for the words of Descartes and Florence Nightingale, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Oscar Hijuelos, Toni Morrison and Ha Jin. As always, the juxtaposition of writing from different disciplines and a variety of cultures and moments in time reminds us of City Tech’s great span of interest in our world. Reader, don’t just hold this book in hand. Read it and be enlightened, provoked, and amused. I want to thank the faculty throughout the college who inspired fine writing, and selected and submitted nearly two hundred fifty pieces of best writing from their students; Professors Mary Ann Biehl and Nasser McMayo whose ADV 4700 students produced sixty appealing cover designs; Graphic Arts Program Director Lloyd Carr who, as before, coordinated the graphics, instructing and leading GRA 4732 students and GRA 3513 students respectively in formatting and printing the cover; and Prof.

Children who converse with their parents during television viewing are better able to evaluate and make sense of content. However, children might learn more if they are encouraged to go from simply understanding content to generating questions and problem solving strategies. To do this, we need to deliver teaching and learning strategies to parents so they can initiate dialogues with their children around television.
