Write On

ow was I ever going to get all
H those research papers and essays
done? I had a book analysis for psy­
chology-sociology, a career paper in
consumer skills, and an autobiography
for English.
Research papers and essays were
being assigned not only in English
classes, but in other subjects, too.
Many teachers felt that grammar,
punctuation, sentence structure, and
written assignments were the English
department’s problem while others be­
gan to increase the emphasis in writ­
ing.
The English department was trying
to develop an awareness of how im­
portant grammar was not only in Eng­
lish, but in all academic classes.
The English department planned to
address the fact that we didn’t have a
common writing experience through­
out the department.
Freshmen learend the basics of the
well-constructed sentence in English I.
Sophomores and juniors mastered
well-constructed paragraphs and es­
says in English II.
After completing these classes, stu­
dents could take American Literature,
Advanced Composition, or English Lit­
erature.
In the future, English department
chairman, Daryl Taylor wanted to see
a change in Advanced Composition.
He felt there was a need for an inter­
mediate writing course as a transition
between basic and advanced composi­
tion.

Explaining how to use the library and the available
reference materials to her English I class, Jan Knowles
describes the different types of encyclopedias.
Critiquing copy and layout designs for beginning journalism
students, Linda Jensen discusses the positive changes that
could be made.
