New Writing Program 336-55- Introduced at North Summit During this year the North Summit School District has been working on a new writing program in the Language Arts area with students 7th through 12th grade. This program, at its inception, was developed for use on the college level for incoming freshmen to improve their writing skills so that they could pass the freshman English extrance exams and find more success in the college. It was developed at U.C.L.A. Logan High School this past year pilot tested the program with their senior high school students to determine if it would work in improving writing skills with that age student. Such It by Shirley Dec. 7. 1941 JAPANESE BOMB PEARL HARBOR It doesn't seem like these headlines were 44 years ago. Even though 1 was just a child. I still remember the shock the people felt, that some country would dare attack United States territory. Everyone felt so safe. Wars were fought somewhere a long way off in strange sounding places many times. Places that no one had heard of until the war was being fought. We sent the necessary arms and soldiers, but that they fought so well, everyone knew, our country would never be under attack. of our brave boys immediately enlisted, many were later drafted. Everyone thought with our show of men and arms, the war would soon be over. But it wasn't. The war lasted four Iqng years. Peace was at last declared in August 1945. ; Many horrible destructive things were used that had not been used before. Airplanes were almost unheard of during the First World War and now they were destroying homes, cities and people. Other forms of destruction was used that had never been seen or heard of before. Many lives were lost. There was fighting in Europe and the jungles on the islands of the Pacific. If the men were not being killed with guns, they were Many unknown dying of strange diseases for which there were no known medicines. Almost every home had at least one silver star in their window, showing that someone from that house was serving their Marty start! were country,...to gold when the news changed of a death was received. Again the cry "A war to end all wars" was heard. Surely people had learned that there are no winners of a war. Everyone is a loser. But power hungry leaders have short memories, and as yet the war to end all wars has not been fought. December 7th should never be forgotten or overlooked as the day the U.S. was taken by surprise. It could happen again, and this time it may very well be the last war for we may just destroy the earth and everyone - on it. success was found that the State Office of Education determined that one of the productivity projects to be encouraged this year will be the writing model called "Wandha." Wandha means Writing Aid and Writers Helper. The package includes a set of and planning use yet exercises, an easy-t- o powerful word processor, and an assortment of revision aids. Language Arts is one of the curricular emphasis areas that we have been working on for the past two years. An application was made and a grant received by the North Summit School District to add the Wandha program to our curriculum. Michelle Williams, during the summer of 1984. attended the Utah State Writing Project, probably one of the test writing programs in the United States, and came back with renewed enthusiasm for writing. During the summer of 1985 Mr. John Jaussi also attended the Utah Writers Project and came back with the same enthusiasm. The "Wandha" lab was developed and now students 7th through 12th grades are using this writing lab. The lab consists of 12 computers with accompanying printers. Students create a writing project then input this project into the computer, the computer then evaluates it on the pre-writi- following criteria. (1) the length of the sentence (2) the length of the paragraph (3) spelling and (4) the number of e verbs in die sentences. The computer provides the student with a print out of how their particular writing project looks, the students then the project are able to and the improvcomputer using ing it to the point that both the computer and the teacher agree that the project is good as it can be. occurred in When the past, with student's writing projects they were tiring and drudgery. The computer offers the opportunity to make corrections, additions and changes in' their paper without having to the project. totally The lab aide who works with the students in the writing lab is She Mrs. Sandra Jaussi. indicated recently that all studtheir projents have ects. some as many as 22 times. It is anticipated that as the students go through this program that a great enthusiasm will be developed for correct writing and they will be able to draw upon the information in the future. Teachers involved in this project are: Mrs. Michelle Williams, with the 7th and 8th grade and Mr. John Hazlett and Mr. John Jaussi with students in the high school. to-b- A READY MARKET Hazel M.
