hink and Clearly Express Themselves ph Moss, Rob Courson, and Debbie Clement discuss a model of the Shakespearean theater. Because ability to think and express one ' s self clearly is essential in the modern world of intellectuals, assignments in John Tyler ' s English classes range from studying the philosophical works of Plato and Socrates, to the study of Shakespeare ' s works and mythology. Basic structural grammar was also taught. Reading, understanding, and then correctly expressing ideas stimulated by another ' s thought is the result of such study. This criteria then provided by the English Department is very effec- tive in teaching the students the art of thinking creatively and applying rules of grammar to their creation.
