About The Thief and the Dogs
Written in 1961, The Thief and the Dogs is the story of
Said Mahran, a thief recently released from jail and intent on
having his vengeance on the people who put him there. The book, set
in a post-revolutionary Egypt, shows how resentment, reprisal and
destitution can shape and shatter human destiny.

By integrating
technology into the Academic ESL Curriculum, students in my
classes have used ePortfolio's in their classes and have
developed podcasts. The Hialeah
Reading Group is developing a community of readers in
conjunction with the
FCLA. For the last
4 years my
students have participated in the Big Read sponsored by
FCLA.
As a member of the
Hialeah Campus Green Team and the Earth Ethics Institute Council
I'm motivated to model and teach sustainable living.

I enjoy kayaking, reading, gourmet cooking and foreign
films. I have an organic garden at home and enjoy
entertaining.
For
the last several years my classes have attended the Miami
Dade Book Fair and Film Festivals as an integral part of class
activities.
Participating in the
Miami Dragon Boat Race with a team from MDC in 2004 made me
a convert to this sport and I will be competing in the 2008 race.
