First the students play the song, then discuss it, rewrite it into paragraph form, and finally pictoralize the song. All of this helps to understand the main points ofthe material. 600 Freshmen and 200 upper- classmen profit from such instruc- tional techniques supplied by ten teachers, an indication of the popu- larity of this elective course. A new reading building was con- structed during the summer whose design has made possible the insti- tution of team teaching in the read- ing classrooms.

T72 Experimental terminal English added For the first time an experimental English course is being offered for the non-college bound student on the senior level. In this class the students use the more modern paperback books, instead of the standard textbooks. The students have compared Romeo and Juliet to West Side Story. The students examine the likenesses of the characters and situations in both stories. This year the English department has obtained a large supply of audio-visual equipment. The department has ac- quired tapes, tape recorders, records, record players, and overhead projectors. These much needed materials were pur- chased under the National Defense Education Act, which was passed recently. The purpose of this course is to come closer to fulfilling the needs of the students, than in past years. .X Ft f K 5 Nl .. f if W.

Students who are participating have these courses during periods 2 and 3. This block program provides flex- aloility and enables instructors to show full length films such as Patch of Blue , Lilies of the Field , and Jane Eyre . Each film presented to the students demonstrates problems of contemporary society and how they can be dealt with. Alcoholism, preiudice, and narcotics addiction were some maior topics of films. For a Christmas proiect, the stu- dents donated time to make a hap- pier Christmas for children in the Maricopa County Child Development Center, students were excused from morning classes for one day each to go to the center and help care for the children. They also filled Christ- mas stockings and presented a skit, complete with Santa and reindeer, for a children's Christmas Party. A new film proiector and record player was added to the department during 1967-68. Each teacher also received an overhead proiector. .1
