St. Mai-y's University Souri, Trinity University English English 18 Junior En lish As a segment in the cumulative and sequen- tial twelve-grade program planned by the teach- ers of English and administration, English 5 and 6 are a fusion of grammar, composition, and American literature. Elements are reading, gram- mar review and introduction of verbals, vocabu- lary development, mechanics, and usage. While the state-adopted texts provide the ma- jor sources, library materials, recordings, and pa- perbacks supplement. The reading plan made by each student includes the daily reading of newspa- pers, the regular reading of literary magazines, and the continuous reading of books. Analysis of lit- erary art is the approach to the study by historical periods and by literary types. Coordinated with the reading, expository writing stems from the ideas presented in the lit- erature. The thesis sentence and the outline are aids used in the objective analysis and the careful organization of the theme. Emphasis is placed on the student's use of sentence variety, clarity and ef- fectiveness of expression, and choice of appropri- ate Words as a means of developing a pleasing lit- erary style.
