RUTH ESKEW: English 10 X Grammar, Literature Studied in Language Arts When one encounters a person his communication is through the English language. English is not only the grammatical study of the language but the devel- opment and use of it. Literary forms are studied each year - poetry, short stories, novels, and plays. Along with these come grammar and composition which includes word usage, sentences and paragraph structure. During the senior year English Literature is studied from the Anglo-Saxon Period to the Twentieth Cen- tury. As a junior one studies American Literature. Sophomores study a variety of works including The Miracle Worker. juliuf Cuemr. and Silar Marner. Since speaking and listening are vital in the Eng- lish language, related subjects are Speech, where stu- dents develop the ability to speak before groups, Speech Activities, which broadcasts Po-Hi Pourri - the school radio show on WBBZgjournalism, which forms the basis for the staff of the Ponmn, the school newspaperg Creative Writing, which teaches a means of expressing one's ideas, and World Literature, where one becomes well rounded in his basic literary composure.
