JACK DOW, DOROTHY EZELL, JOAN FOULON, RON FRANK, FH llsll English English English Adds to Effectiveness The English Department has accomplished the reorganization of the content of the senior composi- tion-literature course in accordance with the Uni- versity of Oregoifs English Departmenfs recom- mendation and that of the Advanced Placement Program. The change involves type-studies of the writings of a few selected authors, taught thor- oughly, rather than -a rapid survey course which follows an anthology explicitly. The literature course includes selected poetry. at least three selected plays tcomedy and tragedyl. several selected novels, selected short stories, and selected essays, plus extensive recommended supple- mentary reading. The composition emphasizes analysis of literature and stems usually from the reading. The extensive use of selected paperbacks, made available in classroom sets, provides material for literary typestudies on a class basis at each grade level. This directed study, aimed to improve his under- standing and enhance his appreciation of literature, should build for the student a more enjoyable and profitable reading program.
