Hello all, my name is Christina Linda Voss, and I've been teaching at SIU since Fall 2007. I taught ENGL101, 102, 290, 300, and this semester also 485a for education majors. I have a Ph.D. in English from my German alma mater, and am presently working on a Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction. I studied in Germany, Russia, France, and previously in Carbondale (in 1997). My first M.A. is in translation (specialty: technology), and my second is the Master of Arts in Teaching from SIU. I am a certified Illinois high school teacher for German, French, and English -- but I am not allowed to teach at public schools, since I am not a citizen!! My goal is to get a greencard and ultimately become an American ;-) My hobbies are playing the piano, hiking in the Scottish highlands, and breeding leopard geckos. I have a homepage for my reptile sales: www.lzrdgrl.com. I'm excited to work with you all on one of my favorite topics: GRAMMAR!!!

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Abby Morgan. I'm an English Education major, and I will graduate (hopefully) in Spring 2011. I should have graduated this year, but since my brief experience at SIU-E turned out to be a bust, I had to sit out a semester and wait to re-enroll. I hope to teach high school English when I finally graduate.
I'm the computer nerd in my family, and I'm the type of person who likes to take things apart and see how they work. I really enjoy anything that has to do with technology.
I'm also a big family person, and I'm really attached to them, which is why I commute an hour and twenty minutes from home on MWF. I have six pets: two cats, Ziah and Minerva; three dogs, Sadie, Chico, and Oliver; and a betta fish named Shakespeare. I love my animals dearly and wouldn't trade them for the world.
