'.McHenry high school has been moving in a more traditional direction Closed campus, required study halls, homerooms, more history being taught chronologically again, stringent graduation- requirements are all evidence of this Rut during the eight years McHenry hi,gh school spent under the more liberal flex mod system, faculty members learned a number of teaching strategies that worked which did not exist in the older, more traditional system These are the things that are being kept as the pendulum swings to more traditional ways Bill Day and Dick Rabbitt. two social studies teachers at West campus, have pooled their expertise to create an in dividual i zed program in American History and Government They have put together what they have learned in eight years of flex mod with knowledge gained of a working program at Lake Park high school in Medinah The result is a history program that operates with large ,,-oup<. class size groups, and minars. within a traditional me structure Team teaching is an integral part of the BU I D W \\ How is this course different from other history courses you've taught in the past" Rabbitt Along wi(h their regular textbooks, students have packets which outline precisely what objectives the students have to fulfill, as well as what activities fulfill them Day this course includes requirements, options, and opportunities for independent study The kids won't have any real options though, until they understand the system, which will be about Christmas This isn't a "sink or swim" kind of thing Q Could you give some examples of the kind of things you expect the students to know ° Rabbitt: Oh. in this first unit, we'd expect them to know why the early colonists came to the new world, why they settled where they did. why the Declaration of Independence was written'.' (•i What kind of answers are you getting"' Day To the question on why colonists came to the new world, the kids will say to start a new government or to get awav from the King We find it interesting that a lot of them have a hard time w ith the idea of government by the consent of the governed I suppose, though, that considering how many people don't vote these days I shouldn't be surpri>'s Q I take it that when you say the course is individualized, you don't mean the kids are working all on their own" Day: No. they aren't. There's a lot of guidance in this program, but the kids do have direct access to the library from the classroom, and that is useful Q: What benefits do you see from teaching the course in this way0 Rabbitt: It puts the emphasis on reading and writing, not listening to the teacher Their writing^ isn't just answers to questions, either, everything is in paragraph form Q Is the course the kind of thing you would have done under flex mod" Day: Yes and no The scheduling is similar, but we have a lot more control over what the kids do with their time Q: Do you foresee problems" Rabbitt Time, trying to get everything done that needs doing That, and what to do with the really slow kids «0 Do the kids like it" Rabbitt Yes. 1 think so. though its still early Kverything they need to do is spelled out grading, assign merits, everything Bill and I are really enthused It's a challenge, and it's something Bill, Bob Putnam, and I have developed ourselves Ringwood News 385 8037 653-9262 728-0343 LANDMARK...An old 136- foot lighthouse, abandoned, but in good condition, provides an observation platform for visitors to Hunting Isla.td State Park It provides a view of beaches and scores ot islands that make up the Beaufort.

Ms Schlei will be the featured speaker on the annual meeting program of FS Ser­ vices in Chicago Sept 22. "Our farmers already have the technology to produce more than enough food and fiber for this nation." she says. "But without an efficiently operated marketing system, the far­ mer's at the mercy of too many factors over which he has no control "Our job at AMS is to help provide a framework in which these producers can help themselves, whether such help lies in the field of tran­ sportation of agricultrual products, in promoting these products at home and abroad, or in being assured of a fair and equitable treatment in the market place," she says. She will be joined on the program by the state secretaries of agriculture from Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin- John Block of Illinois, Robert Lounsberry of Iowa and Gary Rohde of Wisconsin, The secretaries will par­ ticipate'in an agricultural forum with a panel of agricultural communicators- Orion Samuelson of WGN, Robert Bjorklund of the Wisconsin State Journal, and Alvin Morrow of Wallace's Farmer Also appearing will be the state presidents of the Future Farmers of America from the FS trade territory A trio of Farm Bureau speakers will address the FS convention Friday morning.
