English Promotes Basic A year of sophomore English includes a study of grammar, vocab- ulary, literature, and writing techniques. The students read a variety of literature ranging from the classics Silas Marker and Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar to contemporary novels such as The Pearl and A Single Pebble. Some teachers find time to experiment with drama. The recita- tion of poems and public speaking add variety to the program. Junior English classes study a variety of American literature, includ- ing Huckleberry Finn, The Big Sky and To Kill A Mockingbird. Hon- ors classes study four major novels: Red Badge of Courage, Bridge of San Luis Rey, The Scarlet Letter, and Moby Dick. Also included in the year’s English program is the study of grammar, usage, punctuation, and composition. In preparation for college entrance examinations, students arc quizzed on vocabulary words each week. Junior English teachers assign special background reports and panels to supplement the material in the literature books. 24 A public speaking class learns aspects of correct posture from Mr. Eugene Cetrone.
