These oral projects range from book reports to oral reports on subjects relating to the novels studied Mrs Thompson tried out a new way to teach vocabulary words Each group was assigned words and presented them in a different way everyday Many original ideas were used effectively, these ranging from skits to games, and crosswords to demonstrations Mrs Martsch’s classes used several films, including one on Ray Bradbury, two on communism and a film on Africa In Mrs. Martsch’s college prep course Mrs. Barbara Hoge spoke and showed slides on her trip to Russia Mrs Martsch said that she felt that English connected with the other subjects because the time periods of the novels coincide with periods in history Research papers also play an important part in Jr English It is required for students to write one research paper a year Many panels are used in this department especially concerning the different novels used throughout the year Some are conducted in a debate fashion.
