Lost in Literature English was the highlight of many students' day. Many students found En– glish class a relaxing break in the day, where they could get lost in the literature. But the four-year course requirement was not merely a journey into the world of books. Telling students that any post-high school career path would require clear, coherent communication, teachers and stu– dents struggled over misplaced modifiers and subject-verb agreement as they wrote paper after paper. Correct sentences and proper use of grammar were important in all aspects ofwritings.Frombook reports to chapter quizszes to research papers, stu– dents perfected their knowledge of theEnglish language and mastered correct communication skills. Of all the courses offered at school, grammar and literature classes were the most preparatory for college andwork. The fun even lasted past the last day of school. English was the only class that extended past final exams.
