The addition of the resource center and the use of modular scheduling was especially effective in making the department curriculum more flexible. New courses for the Senior Class included rhetoric, humanities, English literature, and advanced placement. As the largest department in the school, the English department had more free- dom to experiment with large and small group situations. The department is moving toward a better knowledge of students' needs. Mr. Kaplan, the department consultant, assisted many of the English teachers in improving students' reading skills. He also was co-director for the all-school musical. 22 Sharon Chapple George Croll Stevenron 0 err Modern In order for students to improve in the art of English composition, it is necessary that they receive constructive criticism.
