English 1A
Reading and Composition
Dr. Christina Nagao
El Camino College
Welcome, Everyone!
I'm Christina Nagao, and I will be your instructor for English 1A. I recognize the extra stress and anxiety that has been brought upon us by events happening in our society as well as the economic hardship of the present moment, and I will be flexible in order to best support you. We are in this together.
Please take 2 minutes to watch my video so that you can learn a little about me. And, if you're interested in learning a little more about me, you can click here to see my reading history. Please also explore the rest of this website to get prepared for the first week of our class.
I look forward to meeting and getting to know each and every one of you! You will find the link to log in to our Canvas Course at the bottom of this page.
