English And History Classes Go Hand-In-Hand By Jeb Broyles English without history is like corn flakes without the milk. In the junior and senior years, the literature the student reads in English class brings out the time period and people of the corresponding time in history. I know of several instances when 1 remembered something on a world history test not from notes taken in history, but from those taken from a World Literature unit. Likewise, senior history and English classes also complement each other. Catholic High is fortunate to have English teachers, who besides knowing their subject matter well, genuinely care about their students’ ability to write a term paper or compose a fictional essay. As this is a college preparatory school, we are being taught writing skills that will become greatly appreciated in college. Our English department even covers word analogies and difficult vocabulary words with us in order to help us score higher on the standardized tests that become so common starting in the junior year. One cannot speak English without emphasizing history. Did you ever read that the Dutch bought Manhattan for about $25? History at Catholic High consists of world history (junior year) and American history (senior year). Pages upon pages of notes are taken in these classes. One often writes almost non-stop from the beginning of class to the bell. There is a lot to learn, and you ask. “What use whatsoever will I have for this in my profession? Probably none. But you will have gained an appreciation for the men and women of the past whose actions have shaped the world into today’s modern society. English and history are an essential part of the curriculum here, and they must be taught together for their full value to be realized.
