I teach on a part-time basis and enjoy the involvement with the students and faculty. This year I am teaching English 9 and 10 which both concentrate on cultural awareness, and English 11 and 12 which involve both American and world literature. These courses focus on five areas: communication, reading, grammar, writing, and research. In selecting reading and writing topics, I hope to expose students to situations, times, and cultures in a new light, opening them to an awareness of different points of view.
