English Il classes started the year by reading the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Their next major Lisa Wilson and Melissa Stephens practice uniting captions in English lll. 6 English assignment was a study of Robert Cormier and his works. This in- cluded reading I am the Cheese. Honors students, taught by Mrs. Day, also read The Chocolate War. An increase in writing assign- ments marked the year, as stu- dents wrote about such subjects as irony and controversy. Plays were a part of the reading curricu- lum, along with poetry and short stories. Vocabulary cards were required to be tumed in every week throughout the year.
