Project W.I.L.D.Working for Immigrant Literacy Development

WINTER HIGHLIGHTS

The main focus of our program is to teach students how to speak, read, and write

English. Through the use of weekly tutorial sessions, W.I.L.D. helps immigrant teenagers

and their families transition into America. In addition, our tutors act as positive role

models and help our students through their adolescent years. The kids are separated

into three different levels: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced.

ABOUT US

College Day

California Science Center

This activity introduced the students to different college majors and their requirements.

We had different stations for the various majors: Economics, English, History, Psychol-

ogy, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and Political Science.

We took the students to the UCLA campus where we gave them a tour and had lunch

at Covel Commons, one of the dining halls.

For our quarterly field trip we went to the California Science Center to expose the

students to scientific discoveries.

favorite is the chicks. It’s little and cute!

EVELYN LUJANWhat I like the most is Bodyworks because the big

human person talked. It was surprizing to me that

parts to help us know how to use our body. But most

of all to know how our brain tells the other mucelus

what to do.

iateDANIEL CHONGMy first exhibit is that the human body, talking about the

organ. It would be cool, I learned about everything I

know. It look like a room with all the invention. I would

not recommend a friend over because it is boring.

JENNY CHUANGI like Communication exhibit, because there is alot of fun

things and somethings are fun, like the digital imaging it

shows that funny picture of me and other people. It is

very cool. And there is a game that you are inside that

game, and a lot of the fun things. And I also like the place

where you can see the little cute animals, and how do

animals grow, but I don’t like the show about body, I just

don’t like it because is not fun.

CHRISTIAN FLORESMy favorite exhibit was the car room because is show

every about cars, it look like room with car on it. Why did

I like it because they have cool car.

KEN LINMy favorite exhibit is the car one. The car in that exhibit is

so cool, I got to play the car game, that car game is like

the cool thing in the exhibit. My another favorite exhibit is

the human one, too. On the human exhibit I got to wash

movie, and on that exhibit have a car game too. On two

2nd flood have basketball to play. That one is the cool

thing too.

JESSICA MOCIt was the boat ride it was fun. No one can play that

game. But I can It look like a helicopter seat and the only

way to turn is going up and down on the controls. It

never had a history on it. Yes, because I don’t what you

meant.

AYIN ROMERO LOPEZMy favorit exhibit is when we enterd a door and there

was a big human body. Her mouth moved when she

was talking. It was about the body when youre runing

and playing a sport. It looks fake and it shows the things

we have in our body.

ZAYIN ROMERO LOPEZ I like the rocked wen I pres the boten. And from the

cars was so cool wen it gos wen the light gos the car

plastic car it was red then I tested it out and crashed it. It

a escolade black.

MAX NAVARROI liked the body work. It was a little fun. I also liked the

transportation area were I get to create your own car. No

it does not have a history or story behind it. It looked like

a t.v. but it also looks like a computer. I would tell them

this is someplace that can help your future/career.

RONY NAVARROBody works is cool because it tells about the stomach,

heart, and the lungs. A robot. Like a fortune teller. It is

cool. This was abot a robot and a dude that are say

transported.

Being a Superhero

ZELENA NAVARROBeing a superhero means helping people by protecting

them from the bad things. It also means to make things

better around the community. If I were a superhero, my

name would Spidy-Girl (SG). Then, for my outfit, I’ll wear

a skirt, long boots and a shirt like Spiderman’s, but the

colors have to be red and blue. Being a Superhero can

be an exhausting job, only sometimes, and the rest of the

time you can feel proud of yourself for helping.

If I were a superhero, I’ll have the power to see

into the future, climbing walls, and swinging across the

sky with my web. The community would have harsh

problems such as robbers breaking in someone else’s

house and speeding cars heading right toward someone.

Also, there might be some violence somewhere around

the community. I can also help the community by

catching robbers and tying them up with web and wait

for the policeman to come and take them away. For

speeding cars, I’ll slow them down by shooting web to

the back the car and tying the web to something strong

that can stop the cars. To stop violence from happening

I’ll have a vision before it happens and then I’ll go to the

location and help them solve their situation. There are lots

of solutions for helping people and your community.

A day as a superhero would be fighting evil and

saving the world, but only if the situation was serious.

Then, when I have nothing to do I’ll just put my superhero

outfit and go out and watch the community. After I come

from work, I’ll go to sleep and prepare myself for my next

mission.

TRACY PHANIf I were a superhero, I would be Super Girl. The powers

that I have are super speed, super strength, invisibility,

force field, the ability to fly, stop time, laser vision,

super healing powers and I am able to fix things by just

touching it. I would help the community by catching

robbers, putting out fires and saving everybody.

My day as a superhero would be waking up, brushing

my teeth and go to work. Whenever I hear anyone that

needs help I would secretly go somewhere safe and

change into my suit. After that I would “save the world!”

Then I would go back to work. After that, I would go

home, eat dinner, shower, brush my teeth and then go to

sleep. The next day I would do the exact same thing.

POLLY TANI would be an invisible girl. My power is being invisible,

so that nobody could see me. If there are thieves stealing

money and when I am invisible, they couldn’t see me. I

fight crime. I will put them in jail.

One day when I wake up, I brush my teeth and then

I go to Willard Elementary School to learn. When it is

nighttime, I fight crime because when it’s night everybody

is sleeping. I sleep when I finish my homework and fight

crime.

TINA TRANI would be an invisible girl. Yes, my powers are to be

invisible. I want to be invisible because rich people do

not care about poor people so they criticized them, so

I want to be invisible to take stuff from rich people and

give it to the poor people.

I will start my day by brushing my teeth, change

clothes and listen to the radio or watch TV. I will listen

to the radio and watch TV to listen to the news to see

what’s happening. So I will come to help others. Then my

job is done for the day.

WILLIAM VUONGIf I were a superhero, my name would be Super Knight.

My suit would be blue and white. If I had a super power,

I would want Superman’s powers. His power is better

than any other hero’s, but he’s not from the Earth. My

super power would be to steal powers from bad guys

and maybe some superheroes that have lots of powers.

I would help the community by protecting the people

from any bad villains.

In an ordinary day, I would go around the world

stopping bad guys or villains. Then I would go home and

find some more villains or bad guys, but first, I would

beat them up. Then I would put them in jail. Then I would

go to my home and sleep and watch TV until the next

morning.

DANNY ZHONGI want to be a superhero Django the solar boy, and with

many powers and abilities. I have the best super power

ever. I like Batman’s gadgets. I like him too, but I don’t

need the gadgets. My power is to say a power, and I

would get that power. For example: I say super speed,

I get super speed. I would help the community by

saving people and beat up villains. My suit is going to be

camouflage, that is pure black with a morpher that would

give me the weapons I need and to change people into

other things.

It would be very easy to be a superhero if I have my

own company, because I have other people to help me

run it (but I would get most of the money). In the day I

am being heroic. Then, at night I’ll be like Batman and fight

crime.
