The objectives of this outcome are set forth to ensure that a student will accurately comprehend and express information and ideas; and communicate one-to-one and in group situations; and use various modes of communication which may include written and spoken words, visual images, performances, sound and symbols.
Communicating with others
One way to learn to communicate and work with others is by working in a group. In my Junior English class we were put in different groups in different classes and given an assignment. This made us communicate with people that we may not know or talk to. This was a great exercise that taught us that sometimes in life we are going to have to work with others that we may not want to or that we do not know.
Another Year Of Schooling
In Junior English class we did a group project on if there should be another year of High School that would be for work experience. We had to find information that back up what we think. Working in a group teaches us good communication and teaches us how to work with others. This is a great way to learn how to work together with others.

Junior English Team Paper

Boost the graduate rate by adding a extra year of school. Many students are not getting enough preparation for the real world. Students should go to five years of high school instead of four. Some students do not receive any work experience before they graduate high school. Students would be able to take more classes and they would also be able to participate in extra- curricular activities. Some students would be able to take college classes in the fifth year. Adding an extra year would help the students that need help receiving credit for the classes they need. It would also help prepare kids for work.
If students were able to go to school for a fifth year then they could take more classes their senior year or make up classes that they need to graduate. With having so many new requirements to graduate high school more students are not able to graduate. Those students that have no classes to make up would be able to take more advance classes to help prepare them for college. Along with taking more classes students would able to be part of extra-curricular activities. Those students that do not want to participate in co-op their senior year would not have to they could participate that fifth year. This fifth year would be an advantage to those who are quiet and do not like meeting knew people because this would help prepare them for when their on there own and they would still be able to get help from the school.
Some students do not receive any work experience before they graduate high school. Many students often decide to do sports or join clubs instead of getting a job, which in return they lack work experience. The 5Th year of high school would be for co-op or work experience. This would give the students that cannot work a chance to get work experience. Having work experience would prepare the students for the work world after high school or future schooling. The students would be more confident with themselves and have a better look on their work life.
In the 2004-2005 school year about 3.8 percent of students in grades 10 to 12 dropped out of high school (National Center for Education Statistics).If there was a fifth year of high school added the drop out rate would increase. The drop out would probably increase because many students are not going to want to stay in school an extra year. Many kids struggle with going to school for 4 years of high school. It would be an advantage for those kids that would stay in school. They would be able to participate in other activities and would get a better understanding of how life is after high school.
If we added an extra year of high school it would only help the students out. It would help the students that do not receive work experience before they graduate high school. Students could also take more classes and be involved in extra curricular activities. Some students would also be able take some college classes in the fifth year of high school. If we added an extra year it would help prepare students for the future. If more students would participate in co-op then they would receive the work experience they needed and the graduation rate would rise a little more each year.
