The presentation of a new novel for the senior classes prevailed in the thoughts of Mrs. Charoiette Travis preparing teammates' lesson plans. ENGLISH A Team Teaching System Added Spice to Dreary English Classes lnnovated scheduling, large group-small group in- struction, and team-teaching added together to round out the English departments educational program. The ninth and eleventh grade students attended two hour block classes, one hour in the lecture hall and a one hour follow up discussion class. Mr. Ed Prince and Mrs. Sandy Dupuy headed the two teams of teachers who planned the course offerings. To avoid overlapping of novels and texts, the de- partment structured the course according to a vertical progression. This prevented students from repeating a piece of literature and created the opportunity for an expansion and broadening of a student's English competencies and knowledge. Team-teaching was also used to correlate the tenth and twelfth grade classes. Mrs. Phyllis Cohen, depart- ment head, and Mr. Ray Fracchia were the team leaders. Weekly meetings enabled all the teams and the specialized persons in drama, journalism, speech, and creative writing to gather together and evaluate the departments' strengths and weaknesses.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE Students Pursued Knowing of Foreign Custom, People Killian created another first in its addition of first year Russian to the foreign language curriculum. Mr. Lewis Caputa, usually known as assistant principal of administration taught the new language course. Department heads, Mrs. Genevieve Andrews and Mrs. Sandra Hall, supervised the study of the other four languages through lectures, tapes, films, and slides, some of which the language teachers personally recorded in the countries. All language students had at their disposal the language resource center which was useful not only for self study, but for class reports and an actual view of foreign cultures. In forthcom- ing years, the language department hopes to attain more tangible equipment and study aids. They also plan to discontinue the audiolingual procedures and effect a merger between con- versation and current teaching approaches in order that students have the opportunity to speak and use the language daily. ss Q I 3 ' --.
