Busy Students With Full Schedules Found That There Was s4 Tteect Jot 7imc Lets see, thought Bob, If we use the quadratic formula ... ... time to clock back on, said the manager. If this sounds famil- iar to you, then it ' s likely that you ' re a busy person. Once in a while, when I had a lot of home- work, I ' d take some to work so I could do it on my break, con- fessed David Maples, junior. Work was not the only activity that kept people busy, making it difficult to do homework. Junior, Moe Hammar confided, Sports kept me busy after school and made it hard for me to do my homework or study. Many people find it necessary to blow off some steam after a hard day at school. Through this a student could vent himself mak- ing it easier to prepare for or re- cover from an evening of dilligent study. My favorite way to blow off some steam after doing my homework was to grab a Coke and watch some MTV, commented junior, Jim Runyan. Although many students had jobs or sports to keep them busy, and making good homework less acessible than it might seem, of- ten other factors such as chores came into play. Depending upon whether you ' re at work, at home, on the bus, or in the library, most of us have the time to do our homework, we just have to find it. by Frank Shelton n liked to do my home- work during class so I didn ' t have to do it at home.

Class Assignments That Go Beyond Pen And Paper Tests Illustrations, medieval fighting weapons or brochures on the Mew World to Rock Day, Just to name a few. You may ask, A few what? Well, these projects and others were used to making history and English more inter- esting. Mrs. Cheryl Simmons, English teacher, said, Layout and design was one of my per- sonal strong points and I thought it would be an educational, as well as a fun experience to real- ize the techniques advertisers used. Other projects used were, for instance, mosaic tiles. It was fun, I enjoyed it, but they were very tedious tasks, replied Ka- ren Madokoro, junior. Students in Honors 4 English chose a pic- ture and recreated it through us- ing colored tiles or colored beads. At first I was confused on how to write about a rock. Then when I got into it, it was kinda fun as well as interesting, said Christ al Mozer, senior. Rock day was used as a timed writing exer- cise for A. P. English. Timed writ- ings were another form of writ- ing project. These writings usually lasted anywhere from 12 minutes to 40 minutes on a given day. Accord- ing to Doug Corbitt, senior, It was hard because we had to push our brains to the limit but the results were worth it. by Christina Edtvan hen my stu- dents draw a graphic sum- mary they are tapping another part of their creativity. o; ' N GUARD.
