Journalism class has been hard at work this year learning about news media and producing The Chieftain, Cuyahoga Heights High School’s newspaper. We’ve just arranged to post every issue on the CHHS website, but I’m going to post our first issue (from last month) here, too, so as many people as possible can see it. The next issue is slated to be published December 1st, so stay tuned!

On the original English IV October assignment schedule, I somehow managed to make assignments due on days you do not have school. Here is the corrected schedule, with my apologies for the confusion.

In Journalism class, we are currently working on a project that requires students to read and analyze opinion pieces from the news. One component of this project is to find multiple columns written on the same topic. Interestingly, this week Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize in Literature has generated a great deal of opinion writing — some writers praising the Nobel committee members for choosing Dylan, others chastising them. Here is a sampling of what journalists have to say:

Wow, did this year go by fast — it’s already time to think about summer reading!
I will be in Mrs. Siley’s and Mr. D’s classes next week to pass out copies of the assignments for students taking English IV, Honors English II, and AP Literature & Composition next year. If you’d like a sneak peak, however, you can click on the “Summer/Independent Reading” Tab in the top right corner of this website. Please note that there is also a list of suggested summer reading for those students who enrolled in Journalism for next year.

Over the next several weeks, you will read one of the following novels or plays on your own. Each of these pieces of literature has appeared numerous times on essay question three of the AP Literature & Composition test, and will therefore help you prepare for success on the test.
Please investigate your choices and make a decision by April 27. I recommend going to Goodreads.com or Amazon.com to read reviews of the books. You will need to bring your book with you to class daily beginning April 28; you will need to finish reading your book by May 19th. Once you have finished reading, you will complete a note card and a writing assignment.
