Learning to communicate effectively is the challenge of the 80’s. If a student wants to continue his or her education, to join the world of work, or to enlist in the armed forces, one must be proficient in writing, speaking, and listening — the tools of all trades. Kay Wilson’s classes English I IV Grammar, English II and III Literature, business English, and General English are all encouraged to exhibit skill in these areas that promote success in life. The school year has been one of change in the English classrooms: new textbooks and a new literature program! All grammar classes have new textbooks that show content improvement as well as the effects of the feminist movement. The literature offerings are no longer elective; instead, P.H.S. offers traditional literature courses, with general literature at the freshman and sophomore levels, American literature the junior level, and English literature the senior level. Each course has a new textbook. Some things never change, and that applies to the content of grammar classes. Students are continuing to write essays and to study vocabulary. Some students are preparing for post graduate studies in college; some students are preparing for jobs after graduation; and some students simply want to get a diploma and get out. But whatever their goals are, hopefully, their efforts in learning to improve their communication skills will make those goals easier to achieve. In General English, the students and I really enjoyed the unit on mythology. The study of the Greek and Norse Gods and Goddesses was both fun and interesting. Returning to the traditional approach to the study of literature in the high school rather than an elective approach has been challenging and rewarding for students and teachers alike.

History Classes Change Sequence Andy Martin, Jim Gehrs, David Wright found map skills help identify foreign lands. Sheila Stout receives help on a difficult question. Class offerings in the Social Studies were adjusted this year in order to end the situation where juniors had to take U.S. History and the Constitution class at the same time. The Constitution class was not offered to juniors this year so they will take the class as seniors. This new sequence will be followed in years to come, thus taking some pressure off of the junior year. Because the Constitution course was not taught in the high school, Mr. Sandstrom had the opportunity to teach one section of 8th grade U.S. History and two nine-weeks classes of Study Skills to the 7th grade. Only one section of World History could be scheduled so the class was a heterogeneous group representing all four classes. Mr. Sandstrom prepares a new lesson plan for his 8th grade class.
