Students Choose Courses In New English Program | English can be fun, CHS English teachers decided, and they deter- mined to prove it by initiating a new phase elective program which offered students their choices of more than 50. classes. Although some other Indiana high schools have phase electives, CHS was the only school in the state this year with English classes on a six week basis. The classes were designed in five levels of difficulty and covered writing, reading, speaking and re- sponding. For the purpose of sched- uling and grading, students were assigned to home base English groups briefly at the end of each grading period and then moved on to new classes with different teachers. For the first time, sophomores, juniors, and sen- iors met together. Of course, not every- one was able to get all their first choices but they found that all classes had new materials and were student oriented.

This also works with teach- ers, by allowing them to teach in their in- terest areas.
