English English: Communication basis Mythology, legends of the Middle Ages, Shakespeare and poetry were all exciting subjects studied this year in the English classes. In addition to grammar and composition, several novels were read. The Scarlet Letter, Huckleberry Finn, 1984, the Red Badge of Courage and the Lord of the Flies are a few examples. Some English teachers wrote topics on the board and had their students spend 3-7 minutes writing in a journal. In some classes the students were divided up into equal groups and given a section of an island and told to decide upon the climate, animals and what provisions they could take with them. English is a required course for all students throughout their high school years, and Advanced Placement or College English are available options to Seniors. W. . Vx, . I 2 af' 4 1.
