Students Discipline Their Native Tongue The major goal of the English Department wasito help students utilize their native language in a disciplined manner. Mrs. M. H. Elder, department chairperson, and the other eight r English teachers. worked toward this goal by providing different experiences in reading and writing. S i E ep A field .trip to see the movie Julius Caesar, the largest field trip in Centennial's history, r wasp anintegral partrof the study of Shakespeare by every class. Seven Shakespearean plays, .including some not usually studied in high school I The Tempest and Othelloj, provided stimulating variety to endless grammar. 5 There were conceptual and thematic approaches r toiliterature as Well. ' y In the phase program, the department offered four honors levels and an advanced placement course. New courses were also offered - 'Advanced Composition, Newspaper, and Year- book. e t To provide extra practice in varied writings was the major goal of Advanced Composition, which could be taken for an English credit. This course also provided an opportunity to improve writing habits, and it introduced new writing techniques. .Due to the small size of the class, specialized, individual instruction could be e given, an important factor of the course. Mrs. Ava Vecchioni and her class took field trips r to libraries and museums which provided good writing .material for compositions. A public speaking course was to be added to the broad selection of English courses in 19804 This would further i enhance the op- portunity to expand and explore the various aspects of the English language, 34 English Department i an f'
