l Sophomores Participated in l Grammar and Speech Units In their second year of English, sopho- mores began to study various types of lit- erature. After they read selections from many literary types, such as biography, short story, novel, and fable, students traced the development of theme in each Work. Through these analyses, students learned to grasp concepts and ideas presented by the author of each Work. Sophomores were 5 also required to Write with some depth samples of different literary types. For the second year, a speech unit was part of the regular program for sophomore English.
