Left: Using the word processor, Curtiss Wells, Terry Scott, and Tracey Drayton perfect their themes in the computer lab. Different methods spark interest utside activities gave students a chance to experience English, not just read about it. Field trips enhanced the learning process of the English department. Mrs. Sherry Hanson took her American Literature class to see Mark Twain at Rosa- ry College, while sophomore English classes attended the modernized stage version of Romeo and Juliet. Mr. Kris Thomsen took his English Literature Classes to the Lyric Opera's production of La Ftondinef' The opera was a new experience for me. I didn't think I would like it at first, but a computer placed above the stage gave the Eng- lish translation and that made it easier to understand, said Jackie Vanderwey. Four students were selected as the nominees for the Achievement Awards in Writ- ing, sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Eng-- lish. Chosen from the top- ranked juniors were Keith Fiedler, Janet Harding, Kathy Stout, and Kevin Fromer. HI was really surprised that my work was noticed. This nomi- nation helped me progress and be more motivated in my work, said Kathy. Many teachers found that the computer lab was a useful tool for teaching English. Stu- dents printed out their rough drafts and final copies as well as took tests on the Apple computers. Students tend to be more interested in their writings when they work with the computers. The potential is outstanding, and we hope to expand the use of them, stat- ed Mrs. Maureen McSherry, English Department Chair- man. Teachers pulled in different methods of teaching to make English come alive for stu- dents. English Department
