This paper describes a mini-modular program for the tenth grade. The program operates within a year-long course of study which covers all four of the language arts and groups students in classes heterogeneously so that skills and concepts can be taught to all students and special needs and interests handled as they arise and are identified. Required units include Oral Communications, Formal/Informal Voice in Writing, Short Story, "Lord of the Flies," and Individualized Paragraph Building and Writing Skills. The first four of these begin the year and are taught by the "home-base" teacher. At the conclusion of these units the first electives are offered: three electives in the language skill area, two writing electives, and novel and drama electives including a unit on science fiction. Electives are usually three weeks long with the student returning to the home-base teacher for conferences at the conclusion of the elective. A common period for teachers involved in planning, coordinating, and executing mini-mod electives is also arranged. At the end of each year electives are dropped or added depending upon student interest, current issues, and staff talent. (HOD)
