Parkview students were preparing for life in a communica- tions-conscious world as they studied one or more of the three foreign languages offered in the curriculum. The cultures, lives, and people who used the language, as well as the language itself, were part of this study. In ad- dition to work in their textbooks, students used tapes and recordings, sang songs, heard guests from abroad, delved into the literature, and participated in creative class ac- tivities. The Roman Empire provided a rich background for Latin I and Latin II classes. Students put their knowledge to work in written assignments and their togas to work in skits pre- sented in the classroom. French, I, ll, III, and IV students added correspondence with European pen pals to their other activities in order to broaden their understanding of another culture and to in- crease their skill in handling the language. Advanced stu- dents shared the responsibility of teaching, taking turns in directing grammar drills each week. The colorful world of bullfights and fiestas flashed around Spanish I, II, and III students. Learning to think in a new language was enlivened by class-created dramas and the intrigue and excitement of unravelling a Kaotic plot. Mickey Federow, a Mexican Maxwell Smart, chased Bob Wickizer who had just eliminated the contact, Gary High Krighth By fortunate coincidence the Kaos plot was foiled, according to the script of narrator Rita Simmonds, as bureau chief Tom Peck received the picture that solved the case. 01501161- 28 ,
