"[Cheryl Strayed's] first draft scraped the surface, but she found deeper psychological truths in revision." Mary Karr, Art of Memoir, p51

I wonder if my At the Movies writing is the same, that I keep going back to the theatre for escape, for healing, for recharging. Introvert's passion, to be alone with people you are both with and not with at the same time.

I need to count poems

Right now, of all the poems I've written I think I have a better chance to look at my at the movies collection and my Kansas collection. I would love to send the Kansas manuscript out to a Kansas publisher. Even as a chatbook, that could be a good start to creating a longer collection. Of course, there's the queer creatures of Kansas but that seems like part of the two mothers manuscript.

KS poems = Topeka cento + new poems

Geek Resistance = My Graphic Novel + new poems

QCoK = So2M + new poems

En315

I'm really curious about the rubric people used for the reading as writers class. Of course, everything will depend on what's on the rubric and then how I will make the class fit that rubric. Oh, a fourth part of the grade will be the presentation.

En315

Before I look at the existing syllabi for the course, my thoughts are that for every reading assignment a student writes up two responses to the writing based on their curiosity. Each one contains a summary so we can you familiar with what is being discussed, what it is that inspires or rhetorical inspiration. Or even ripping off of., and then finally what the student will plan to do as their own prompt or strategy. Based on their curiosity. Part of the grade will also be there commonplace journaling, which will also be in block form or posted. Blog forum. If a student wishes to do a hybrid art Journal part blog, that is okay. I still want the responses in typed up form though. The third part is class participation.

Syllabus

https://www.chronicle.com/interactives/advice-syllabus

Lessob first week

Have students use their phones and speaking into a blog or messenger message to record what they've written. Suggest this as a strategy for writing that you get all of your words out through speaking first.

Finak research essay

Writing an essay with and without research, without research first. The students will take the culmination of there commonplace book. They will make different hypotheses connections through what they have. They will decide on what they want to discuss based on their curiosity. Then right a non 3.5 paragraph essay, a long essay that goes into the research.

Legacy Stories

Have students write Legacy stories for first-year writing

Jorge Nobo

https://www.penwellgabeltopeka.com/Obituary/174666/Jorge-Nobo/Topeka-KS

[All Faculty & Staff] Professor Emeritus Jorge Nobo

Dear Washburn Community,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Emeritus Jorge Nobo on August 7, 2019 at his home. For many of us, myself included, Jorge was a paragon of a university professor. Throughout his 39 years at Washburn, he was an inspired teacher, a scholar deeply involved in his discipline, and a leader who contributed in countless ways to the university. His thoughtful insights and strong advocacy for faculty impacted our faculty governance. He was also a kind and caring person with a friendly demeanor and a sharp wit. Jorge and his wife, Pat, continued to be involved with Washburn after his retirement. I have included an updated biography below that appeared in the 2014 Commencement Program when Jorge was selected as College of Arts and Sciences Ceremonial Grand Marshall.

Jorge is survived by his wife, Patricia O’Neal Ferguson Nobo. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to be sent to the Jorge L. Nobo Scholarship in Philosophy, c/o Washburn University Foundation, 1729 SW MacVicar , Topeka, Kansas, 66604.

A memorial celebration of Jorge’s life will be held at a later date.

Laura

Dr. Jorge Luis Nobo, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, joined Washburn’s Philosophy Department in 1972 and retired in 2011. He was born in Havana, Cuba and lived in Orlando, Florida for three years as a child. He completed his secondary studies in Cuba and returned to the U.S., this time to stay, 1960. In 1966, he became a naturalized citizen and received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Miami, Coral Gables. In that same year he began his graduate studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where he would eventually meet his wife-to-be, Patricia, and from which he would receive his PhD in philosophy in 1973.

At Washburn University, Dr. Nobo rose through the academic ranks from instructor to professor. He skillfully introduced thousands of students to philosophy in his World Views and Moral Values course. His two-course series in the History of Western Philosophy was the backbone of philosophy majors’ education. He helped round out that education with courses in Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Classical American Philosophy, and Process Philosophy, among others.

Dr. Nobo authored Whitehead’s Metaphysics of Extension and Solidarity, and co-edited The Individual and Society. His work on metaphysics and process philosophy was also published in articles and books as well as presented to various professional societies. He was a visiting scholar at the Universities of Salamanca and Harvard, and a participant in two NEH institutes.

Dr. Nobo was chair of the Academic Affairs Committee of the Faculty Senate and a member of the University Curriculum Committee, University Council, College Faculty Council, and Committee on College Governance. He served as chair of the Commencement Committee and was Grand Marshal for eight years. In 2014, he was selected by the College Faculty Council as Ceremonial Grand Marshal for commencement. He was also a long-time member and president of the Washburn chapter of the American Association of University Professors. He had other numerous University contributions, including service on many promotion and tenure committees.

Dr. Nobo was a member of the Metaphysical Society of America and the Society for the Study of Process Philosophies. He also participated in many meetings of the Southwestern Philosophical Society, the Kansas Philosophical Society, and the Kansas City Area Teachers of Philosophy.

First 3 weeks

Introduced the idea of commonplace, have students keep a journal and a Blog. Share the different articles about learning. Curiosity as the leader to what you right about each day. Then lead into the three point five paragraph essay. Through the online how to write a paragraph.

Even better, using the best habits of mind to explore how three specific ones will help the students in college based on what they know about themselves and what they perceive College will be about. It's like a plan that is an essay form, so this is real world writing and learning about writing college essays.

During the first week, read about why taking notes is better than taking notes on a computer.

At the Movies

Upon reflection, I realize I am still interested in the movies, writing poems about the movies, exploring the movies through verse and prose. This is a transitional year with a lot of stress. It makes sense that I'm still holding on to the movies still keeping other projects in mind.

Nightmare on Elm Street 2 HORROR!

https://vimeo.com/239374398

https://vimeo.com/138711149

When it was released in 1985, "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge" was dubbed the gayest horror film ever made. For the film’s closeted young star, Mark Patton, such a tag was a stark reminder about the homophobia rampant in Hollywood at the time—and the painful experience he had making the high-profile film and living through the polarizing critical aftermath.

Patton—whose résumé includes stints on Broadway and a regarded role in Robert Altman's 1982 film Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean—wasn’t out of the ordinary for the time.

SCREAM QUEEN! My Nightmare on Elm Street highlights Patton’s time in the horror spotlight and sets the record straight about the controversial sequel, which ended his acting career just as it was about to begin.

Non-traditional

I realize that I teach like I homeschool that I want my students to have an experience not just do what they're told and create a factory experience. I'm very non-traditional and I got to where I am by non-traditional means. I want my students to be engaged with what they're interested in, to rebuild a sense of curiosity and how to translate that Curiosity into things they wouldn't normally be curious about. Even to the point where they can learn how to ask a professor if they could write their own assignment or take their own tests and a certain way. Curiosity and engagement are the Pierre the true means of learning. And that will never stop learning.
