's , E GLIH English comprises a thorough study of the concepts of grammar, usage, composition, and an analysis of varied forms of literature in the English language. Grammar, a set of language principles followed in communicat ing with others, associates words with meaning, then puts these word together to show how ideas are related. Grammar and EE are closely connected because usage determines the appropriate expres- sions in various grammatical situations. A full understanding of grammar, therefore, requires attention to the usages of standard English. Composition comprises the expression of organized thoughts in both writing and speech. A writer is not clearly understood unless he follows the rules of spelling, capitalization, and punctuationg therefore, if full expression is achieved on paper, speaking powers develop accordingly. Literature, a collection of imaginative or critical prose and verse, has helped our language grow by serving as a basis for new thinking, The literature of other countries adds word and phrases to one's own language. Ensley High students are given excellent training in these four phrases of English, as well as being given the opportunity to participa in accelerated classes, designed for exceptional students. Likewise, basic English classes are provided for those students needing special help in the understanding and mastering of the English language. This diverse instruc- tion, offered on various levels, affords all students of Ensley -the opportunity to know and understand all aspects of English.
