Latin increases students' English vocabulary, because many words are de- rived from the language, said Latin teacher, Pam Hebbe. Although useful, students find the course difficult since it consists of written assignments with no verbal practice. Many kids felt they didn't have the time to put into itf' Hebbe said, Another time consuming course, English, has taken a new role, Next year, graduation requirements will include a full year of senior English. Added to improve their skills was the teacher authored, Writing it Right, a handbook designed to standardize style and encourage students to support their opinions with evidence, Many students react negatively because they don't want to work that hard, said Marcia Hilsabeck, English instructor. Discovering you have opinions is difficult . . . but explaining why you have that opi- nion is much more difficult. Having experts in the field holding the same opinions as you is comforting. But it is like wind sprints, it's a killer until you get there. ls it Greek to him? No, it's Latin.

Kendall Crisp, senior, stated, I don't feel it is necessary for students to take a whole year of government. Now students who want to graduate at mid-term are not able to. However, Jeanie Blaylock, senior thought tak- ing government is a good idea because it could possibly help a student place out in hisfher first year of college. All seemed to enjoy the simulation games, which helped students understand government. American History and World Geography classes are other required courses in the social science curriculum. Homemaking i'The main purpose of homemaking is to assist students in acquiring homemaking skills and understanding of human relationships, stated homemaking teacher Jo Ann Browne. Homemaking courses at Round Rock involve learning nutrition, consumer education, home management, clothing, housing, child develop- ment, and home and family living skills. Classes took field trips to the bank to read different kinds of housing projects, and did comparison shopping for food, clothing and cars.
