CONTESTS SPUR ENGLISH STUDY IN SCHOOL 30 t Group Plan for Composition Work Aids Students to Write Better. The plan for group work suggested in the book. “Teaching English in the Junior High School,” has been highly successful in the departmental grades of School 30 for about a year, teachers say. The following modification of it, I however, has seemed to yield the ' greatest profit to the pupils because | of the definite emphasis placed on specific points. The entire class is given the same | topic to write on with one or two ! specific aims in mind. After preparation of the composi- ! tion the class is divided into groups I where the themes are read and ! criticised on the basis of the aims \ for the day. and the best from the 5 group is chosen. The winners from i each group then read to the class as a whole, from which is selected the ; room champion. The results are | posted on the bulletin boards of the departmental rooms. A further reward comes the next time when the room champion is made chairman of the new composition tournament. The teacher during the individual work period choses one composition which Illustrates, or fails to meet the specific aim. This is copied on the board while the small groups are i meeting so that, after the contest ;is ended, the class may join in general criticism of the work and | in this manner clinch the point of | the lesson.

PUPILS MODEL FROITSOF OLAY School 11 First-Graders Visit Stand to Get Ideas. Modeling in clay is claiming much of the time of 1A and IB pupils at School 11. Recently the children visited a fruit stand in the vicinity and studied it from every angle. They talked to the proprietor, inventoried his stock and now, with a little help, have built a miniature stand out of clay. Awnings were constructed over the stand and painted, baskets were made and placed and fruit modeled. When the clay fruit dried they painted it and piled it on the counters of their fruit stand. TOTS TO SEE TALKIE Movie Will Be Shown to School 54 Pupils. Pupils in the 2B room at School 54 have been correlating their work in reading, English, art and spelling in a modern manner recently. A “talkie movie” will be given soon as the result of their labors. The story of the play is that of Peter Rabbit and will be given in three acts. Colored pictures of ths scenes are being made on rolls of paper and it is planned, when the pictures are shown before their audience, for a child to tell the story represented by the picture. The dramatization of the Tree Dwellers was given by 3B pupils in this manner and teachers say the work was of great help in the teaching of reading, English, geography and art.
