Showing Some Class , Honors Eng, Click, Eng, Click, .. . This year we started a new Honors English class for tenth graders. Last year the students interested in this class had to fill out an application, take a reading class and write a paper to see if they were acceptable to be in this class. In the class they study novels, plays, grammar, and science- fiction. This class prepares the students for college. They will be developing higher reading skills, better vocabulary and studying skills. In this class they study more about the history of American literature and major American SC ACADEMICS radiation writers. When we asked a teacher (who wanted to remain anonymous) about the thought of a mechanical teacher replacing human teachers in the future, she replied that she did not think it could be programmed to teach this particular subject.

READING The Course Designed for the Individual Sas Future Reading Over the past 500 years the reading process of the average human has increased 10 folds. This is due to the biological and scientific advancements of man. In the year 1980 the common method of teaching reading skills was done by humans themselves. That meth- od gradually decreased with the elimination of differences between the average person. Then a way was discovered to imprint the genetic code of choice human beings into the developing zygote (Zygote-first stage of development in human reproduction). In this way we were able to control the level of intelligence, physical stature and such. The most recent development is a computer that when pro- grammed with the brain-wave pattern of a being is able to determine the weakness and strengths of the individual. It adjusts itself to meet the specific needs of that individual. The computer is fully mobile and in the form of human being so that relating between the computer and its subject are easier. The com- puter is able to intake verbal messages and to respond verbally. Ms. Eva Swenarton Not Pictured: Ms. Elaine Novak re ACADEMICS
