English EnffJish Acquaints Students Constantly challenging young minds to develop an understanding and appreciation of literature were the English Teachers. Assignments in John Tyler ' s English classes ranged from presenting a modern, morality play to the study of Shakespeare ' s works and Greek Mythology. Basic structural grammar and theme composition were also taught. The criteri provided by the English Department was very effective in teaching the students the art of thinking creatively and applying rules of grammar to their creation.
