Understanding Other Culfures By Gretchen Beck Learning another persons language helps us to have more empathy with oth- er cultures resulting in a better under- standing of those in our world and a bet- ter world, stated Madame Guild. Any language enables students to be able to communicate in a foreign language. This becomes very helpful to many students who plan to travel, study, and even live in another country. I took a language because, it will enable me to communi- cate in foreign countries, as I plan to travel abroadf, stated Nicole Burwell. To ensure the students, that by taking a foreign language, they will be able to communicate in a foreign land, many teachers try to speak mostly in the par- ticular language that they are teaching. This allows the students to learn and think in their particular language, in- stead of constantly translating from English to their language in their minds. This Way of thinking has helped us to think in our language, by using it in the classroom, stated the German 7-8 stu- dents. They as well felt that, learning German has broadened our knowledge and culturally expanded the aura of our education. Standing in front of the room, Mrs. Bahmani, gives a German lec- ture. Mrs. Greenburg gets a chuckle out of Leslie Ferstan's Spanish composition. 166 Foreign Language Diana Browning French French Club Robert Easter Spanish Department Head Leticia Busch Spanish .1 David Goff Spanish, AFS, Sophomore, UN Club

The classes are also a place where students can apply other areas, such as math and science, stated Mr. Roybal. The idea of promoting job skills was seen throughout the Industrial Art classes. Courses such as Auto, Drafting and metal shop, taught students the ba- sic requirement of each class. In beginning Auto, the class ranged from topics of Consumer Education to car maintenance. The students were taught the basics of Consumer Educa- tion so they could apply the knowledge in the future. Each student also learned mechanic skills, by working on their own car,', commented Mr. Gardner. Whereas in drafting, students learned the techniques involved in drawing a floor plan for a house. This floor plan was one of the many requirements for the students. Drafting also reinforced the hand and eye coordination of Geometry. Woodshop and metalshop promoted skills for a future in the job market. Stu- dents learned to weld and use the ma- chinery. Welding assists me because it teaches me things I can use later in life declared Lawrence Buck.
