Introducing...

Introduce yourself to your classmates! Just a few sentences on who you are, where you are from, what you like to do- anything that's important for us to know. So it will look like this.

My name is Katey Porter and I have been teaching at the LCC since 2009. I have two MA's, one in English Literature and Language, the other in Applied Linguistics. Both are from the UK. I lived in Scotland for many years, and that's where I got  my first MA! It's very beautiful but COLD! I think Houston is very hot. In my spare time, I like to read, watch movies and make cookies! I was born on October 23rd, so my birthday is really soon! I want to make a big cake for class. My favorite subject to teach is writing! Nice to meet you!

See? Easy! Now let's learn a bit more about YOU!
