These included advanced English E classes and Literature. 'English Workshop class helped Parkers who had difficulty in composition, grammar, spelling or reading. These workshops were assigned in addition to regular English classes. English and social studies constituted the core program for the 9B's. Literature, oral and written composition and functional gram- mar made up the course. Book reports played a vital part of the Parker's English requirements.
