y / f > r 4 s y AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK-NOV. 7-13 Bantfter INVEST IN LEARNING Volume X Number I Roxboro, North Carolina, October, 1965 Price: Twenty Cents Former Teacher Addresses Council FRENCH DEPARTMENT French Department Evaluates Language Laboratory Recently the department re ceived a new language labora tory. This language laboratory, sometimes called an electronic class room is a teaching tool for attaining the goals of language learning. Its function is to give students the oppor tunity to practice what they have learned through drills and to give them an opportuni ty to hear the language spoken by native Frenchmen from var- ous regions therby, improving ^ the students’ ability for mast-j fciy ittiiguafee. ‘j Student Council Workshop Two students represented: Person County High School at the Eighth Annual Leadership Training Workshop of the North Carolina Association of Student Councils this summer. They were: Vickie Lawson, vice-president of the Student Council, and William Mials, a homeroom representative. Mrs. S. J. Mials, adviser of the Person County High School Student Council accompanied them. The Workshop was held August 15-18, at Shaw Univer sity, Raleigh. At the first session the state officers and junior counselors! were introduced. It was at this session also that the group was divided into four smaller groups or coun cils. Each council was asked to compose song, choose a name, a mascot, a color, and present a skit. After the group activities some typical problems of stu dent councils were discussed. The one major problem dis cussed was how to make the student council stand out above the other organizations in the school. Although it has the name “Workshop,” it is not all work. There were two recreational periods each day, consisting of games, dances, and trips. ^ At the closing session awards i and certificates were given to all students for satisfactory participation in the various ac tivities of the workshop. Next year, the local council plans to send more than twoi representatives, because it realized that the Workshop can do much in helping to solve council problems at the local level. Some advantages of the laboratory are as follows: All students in a class may partici pate in learning speaking ac tivities at the same time, which is beneficial to the individual as well as the groups. They may receive instruction pri vately through the use of headphones and not have mis takes heard by other students. Pupils may receive the benefit of pattern drills for learning the language, and may become aconainted with the culture of vv tiose ii,Vifeuage' i-iiey are learning through songs, poems, dialougues, and stories. With these new additions the department hope to have a very successful year. The students of the French Department and Faculty are happy to welcome Mrs. Walker to the department. With these new additions the department hopes to have une annee avantaguese.
