Three years of English are re- quired for graduation from Ar- cadia. More capable students are channeled into accelerated programs at each of the three grade levels, with other students being assigned to regular or re- medial classes as their abilities in the language area are indi- cated. Flexible scheduling per- mits students to move from one level to another, in relation to their achievement. English ll consists of a review of the fundamentals of gram- mar and the study of more ad- vanced grammar. Vocabulary building is emphasized along with speech. Composition is studied in fhe form of term papers or proiects, as well as in shorter essays. Poetry in its various forms is ex- plored with some emphasis of technical construction. In the English Ill course, every effort is made to extend pupils' command of English, to ac- quaint students with good liter- ature and to emphasize reading for enioyment. English IV is designed to re- view grammar, vocabular building, and basic skills o reading, spelling, and hand writing. Creative writing and capitali zation on purposeful situation for writing are encouraged a every opportunity. Under the major areas o speaking, reading, writing, an listening, students actively par ticipate in all phases of the lan- guage arts program. Use o grammar, spelling, usage, punc- tuation, capitalization, penman- ship, and vocabulary develop- ment is stressed. Appreciation of literature an newspapers, understanding ra- dio, television, and motion pic- ture films, all contribute to th communicative skills expecte of each individual. Drama, speech, and iournal- ism are offered for each of the three years and serve as elec- tives. Drama students presen one and three act plays. Speech students participate in tourna- ments with other members of the National Forensics League, and advanced iournalism stu- dents publish the school news- paper and annual. MRS.
