TRAVIS Science Science is organized knowledge SOCIAL STUDIES The writing of a term paper, was a project which occupied the spare moments of many American history students. These assignments, to find extensive information about one subject, benefited the pupil by giving him new knowledge as well as practice in making use of available reference sources. It is indeed difficult for students to remember every im- portant date, person, and event. For this reason, another method of conveying historic material to the student was through panels and discussions. In some classes, small groups presented skits to dramatize specific phases in their studies. Thus, these important ideas are retained longer than if they were taught by mental association. The information contained in thc history books was not the only source of subject matter. In the economic world classes, many topics of study were discussed in movies which were shown to the students. Moreover, much emphasis was also placed on the study of current events. Tl1is material was not obtained solely from local news sources, for some classes in- vested in a periodic newspaper to help keep them abreast of significant world developments. Thus, Bennett students leave our school ready to become useful and informed American citizens.
