Phase courses update English classes A breakthrough by the English De- partment! This year the English Depart- ment offered a choice of courses. Except for freshmen, there were no structured classes geared to grade or ability. Three phases made up the program. The Phase l courses were for those stu- dents who had difficulties with basic language skills. The most popular paired courses this year were Greek and Roman Mythology and Vocabulary Development, and Black Literature and the Short Story. Twentieth Century American Writers and Modern Poetry, and Victorian Age and Nineteenth Century American Writers were offered in Phase ll courses. Phase ll was set up for those with an understand- ing of the basic language skills, who want- ed to improve them. The third phase of the program was for those who had an interest in language skills and who had a more mature under- standing. Two of the courses offered were the Novel and Creative Writing, and English Grammar and Study Skills for the College-Bound. The Phase Elective Program excited and interested teachers as well as students. Starting this year, students took a new interest in English. Three new ideas for classes next fall are animal stories, science fiction, and law and man. t 'fs r . ' t SEVERAL TECH STUDENTS enjoyed Black Literature class this year, especially Betty Adams.
