Hi everybody! I´m Sara, your teacher this semester. I have been teaching in CELE for 16 years and W 005 is my only group at CELE this semester. I also work as a full time teacher at Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México campus San Lorenzo Tezonco. I teach reading comprehension there. I love my job as a teacher, whether at CELE or UACM. I have taught many of the Advanced courses, including Speaking, Listening, English Literature, Advanced Reading and Writing (No grammar, thanks).

 I studied at UNAM's Philosophy School. My major is English Literature, so I love reading a lot. I´m reading now about a very important king in English History, Henry VIII. Last semester I taught English Literature here in CELE and  had an incredible time rereading a lot of interesting material, like the Legends of King Arthur, Shakespeare's Hamlet or some epic poems like Beowulf. 

I also love dogs, I´m crazy about them. Some years ago I trained dogs for search and rescue. After the 1985´s eartquake, the UNAM created a canine unit to work on this and there was I, training my golden retriever. Though I love teaching a lot, I have never felt as happy and excited as I was when I was at the field doing my search job. I miss that because I don´t do it anymore.

So much for a walk down memory lane. I hope that we all enjoy sharing our thoughts and reading our classmates'.

  1. I'm so sorry for not attending today's class, but it was impossible for me because of personal matters. Hope it was just the pre-essay activity, for what I'll check the activities we did last monday. I deeply apologize once again, and hope it was the focus of tuesday's activities. Thank you.
