ENGLISH AND MATH In the English Language Arts classes, the semester literature courses concentrate on analysis, discussion, and developing reading skills. Students participate in class discussions and write on various related topics. The grammar composition courses deal mainly with construction, vocabulary, and spelling drills. Students write a variety of compositions such as paragraphs, expositive and argumentative papers, themes, and letters. The creative writing classes learn the basis of writing for publication. The student learns to work in all areas of the school newspaper by preparing copy, doing page lay-outs, interviewing, and reporting. Students also write a number of personal writing assignments. The English I class works on developing both grammar and writing skills. They also read and discuss literature of various types.
