In order to provide 11th and 12th grade English students (in both standard and academic classes) with a more stimulating set of course offerings, a program was developed which incorporates one required course, communication skills, to be taken during the first school quarter and three elective courses to be taken during the remainder of the school year. This course guide includes brief descriptions of the 36 proposed course offerings; a chart of the results of the student inventory of English alternatives; descriptions of each of the 21 courses offered during the 1974-75 school year; outlines for the communication skills courses; and outlines--including a description, objectives, suggested activities, lists of resources and materials, and strategies for evaluation--for each of the alternative courses.
