Three credits of English are required to graduate, which is also an important part of the entrance requirement of most colleges, so English is an important part of our curriculum at Paradise Valley High School. For the first time, advanced English classes are offered in all years. I really enjoy teaching Advanced Junior English. lt is a challenge teaching an advanced class. I enjoy teaching creative and motivative young adults. The rewards are many, said Miss Mary Murphy, Advanced English teacher. New classes added this year are Survey of Literature, for stu- dentsjust out of reading, and World Literature, the study of cul- ture's effects on writings. Many teachers in the department invited guest speakers into the classroom. Robin Armstrong, an alumni of Paradise Valley High, now a professional film-maker, explained how to make a movie in the process of showing his film, Cutting Loosef, A forum program was created this year to enrich and broaden the students' leaming, under the supervision of Mr. Les Leiter. The program included drop-out students from THOR, The Other Road, a disciplinary school in conjunction with the Paradise Valley School System, who told of their experiences and why they drop- ped out. National Honor Society members taught study skills to the Freshman English classes in another Forum presentation. 226 Mr. George Werner Mrs. Sue Bardon Mrs. Lori Decker ,li .
