English challenges eniors by exploration of literature English literature and its rudiments are explored in twelfth grade English. The heritage of much American literature, English poetry, drama, and the novel form the basis for the senior's year in English. Many teachers, approaching English chronologically, begin with such works as the famous epic poem Beowulf and trace through the history of English literature. Seniors generically approaching English examine the distinguish- ing characteristics of the short story, novel, poem, bi- ography, essay, and play. By selecting a substantial motif, senior classes thematically approaching English literature explore the meaning of an idea. The Senior desiring a challenge to the undertakings of literature finds Honors English as such. Proiects as an Independent Study Program are undertaken. By selecting a research topic, writing a paper on this topic and sharing his findings with the class, the student broadens his scope of understanding a certain writer or type of writing. An elective course at Seaholm, Humanities provides the Senior with an idea of his Western Cultural Heritage. Many Seniors find this course extremely interesting and beneficial. Free classroom discussion is effective in ac- quainting the Humanities student with world literature, philosophy, and art. Senior Honors English student Bob Wienner reports to his class on the Protest Theater of the 30's as his independent study program.
