The Use Of Proper English We are taught to express ourselves exactly and visually when speaking and writing. We are inspired to create and know when our ideas are good. Music and art also play active parts in the teaching of English. In tenth grade the emphasis is on the reading and understanding of a novel. Eleventh grade English combines American literature and history with literature being taught in chronological sequence, The stress is on World and English literature in grade twelve. College-bound students prepare with College Prep. This is the only course where the research or term paper is required. American Heritage students pre- pare oral themes and in World Literature they are optional.
