Student Journalism and News Literacy Programme 2020-2021 Press
STUDENT JOURNALISM AND NEWS LITERACY PROGRAMME 2020-2021 PRESS PASSelcome to Press Pass 2020 - the eighth year of the NewsBrands Ireland Newspapers in Education (NiE) Winitiative. How does Press Pass work? Press Pass is a complete student journalism and news literacy programme. This workbook is used in conjunction with digital copies of newspapers which are available on www.presspass.ie. By reading the newspapers and using this workbook, students will gain an understanding of how news is produced, how to write like a journalist, and discover the important role newspapers play in our society and the necessity for a free press in a healthy democracy. Teacher’s Lesson Plan A Teacher’s Lesson Plan to accompany this workbook can be downloaded from www.presspass.ie. Designed to equip teachers with practical guidelines and tips for teaching the Press Pass module, the Lesson Plan has options to run the course as a 6 week or 12 week module – entirely dependent on your class group’s interest and ability. What is the aim of Press Pass? The main aim is to encourage students to read and write more. Using newspapers as part of the daily curriculum, teachers and students will get a better understanding of news and current affairs and be exposed to a range of views and analysis - sometimes radical, sometimes infuriating, but always engaging and entertaining - to help them form opinions of their own. What is the Press Pass workbook for? This workbook is to be used in class in conjunction with the newspapers and lesson plan. It looks in detail at the main writing styles and range of skills that make up your daily newspaper: - What is news and how to write a news story - The difference between news and features - The skills required to write commentary - What makes a good photograph - The secrets behind good sports journalism. -
“Voice of Ireland”. Today Tommy Is One of Ireland’S Top Entertainers with Over 6.5 Million Youtube Hits and Over 3.5 Million Album Sales Worldwide
TOMMY FLEMING BIOGRAPHY With his powerfully distinctive voice, Tommy Fleming has been described as the “Voice of Ireland”. Today Tommy is one of Ireland’s top entertainers with over 6.5 million YouTube hits and over 3.5 million album sales worldwide. The youngest of six children, Tommy was born in 1971 in Aclare, County Sligo. His natural singing ability was evident at a young age whilst participating in local talent competitions. While still at school, Tommy formed his first rock band, The Face of February, and embarked on gigging in local pubs. After leaving school Tommy joined a quartet, Jarog, gaining a legion of fans. However, despite this success, record companies weren’t exactly knocking on Tommy’s door. Then a chance encounter with renowned producer and composer Phil Coulter changed all that. In July 1993, Phil heard Tommy performing at a charity event in Westport, County Mayo. Within days Tommy was guesting with Phil and his orchestra at the Opera House (Cork), the National Concert Hall (Dublin) and The University Concert Hall (Limerick). Four months later he was playing to huge audiences across the US and Canada, culminating in two shows in the Boston Symphony Hall and the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York. Tommy’s career then took another leap forward when he was invited by Galway traditional group De Danann, to join them as lead vocalist, following in the footsteps of living legends as Mary Black, Maura O’Connell, Dolores Keane and Paul Brady. The collaboration lasted three years and introduced Tommy to a worldwide audience touring Australia, Hong Kong, China and the US. -

SECRETARY's REPORT 2010 the Highlight For
SECRETARY’S REPORT 2010 The highlight for us all in 2010 was undoubtedly the ‘Down Journey’ which brought a new sense of excitement and expectation that has been missing in the County for a long time. Thanks to everyone involved, particularly the Clonduff lads on the panel – Aidan, Jason and Darren. On the Club front, there were many and varied successes reflecting the inclusive nature of the Clonduff Structures. Clonduff fielded teams in the four field sports and was well represented in Scór na nÓg and Scór Sinsear and successfully competed in the Handball leagues. County titles were achieved in Senior Camogie (separate report), Adult Hurling, U15 Óg Spoirt Football, U14 Football, Set Dancing, Novelty Act, Senior, Junior and Juvenile Handball. Our young people represented the Club at National Congress (Youth Delegate and Entertainment), National Youth Forum and the Down Fundraising ventures, and almost eighty of our young people were involved in the successes of their respective educational establishments with Cathal Murray at the helm in St Colman’s, Mark Copeland in SRC, Lorraine Maginn in St Mark’s and Ryan McShane in University of Liverpool. There are up on a dozen former Clonduff players expounding the skills of Gaelic Games at varying levels to other clubs. One of the most disappointing aspects in Clonduff life was our inability to provide meaningful games for the young girls who wanted to play Ladies Football – the U12 games were scheduled for the same day as the U12 Camogie and the U16 team was entered in the highest league and in their first round games found themselves totally demoralized and the team was withdrawn. -

Prison Escapes 2
PRISON ESCAPES 2 17th century • In 1621 Dutch author Hugo Grotius escaped from Loevestein where he was held captive by hiding himself inside a book coffin. He was then smuggled outside. 18th century • Jack Sheppard took to theft and burglary in 1723, and was arrested and imprisoned five times in 1724 but escaped four times, making him a notorious public figure and wildly popular with the poorer classes. • The Italian author and adventurer Giacomo Casanova escaped from prison in 1757. 19th century • Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from his prison on the island Elba in 1815 and returned to Europe in an attempt to restore his Empire. • The notorious outlaw Billy The Kid managed to escape from prison in 1881, but was captured and shot by Pat Garrett only a few months later. 1900-1950 • German Naval Air Service Kapitänleutnant Gunther Plüschow escaped from the Donington Hall prisoner of war camp in 1915. • John Dillinger served time at the Indiana State Penitentiary at Michigan City, until 1933, when he was paroled. Within four months, he was back in jail in Lima, Ohio , but his gang sprang him, killing the jailer, Sheriff Jessie Sarber. Most of the gang was captured again by the end of the year in Tucson, Arizona , due to a fire at the Historic Hotel Congress. Dillinger alone was sent to the Lake County jail in Crown Point, Indiana . He was to face trial for the suspected killing of police officer William O'Malley during a bank shootout in East Chicago, Indiana , some time after his escape from jail. During this time on trial, a famous photograph was taken of Dillinger putting his arm on prosecutor Robert Estill's shoulder when suggested to him by reporters. -

The School brought together the resources of UCD Business School, UCD School of Law and its Irish Advisory Board to undertake this work. It also provided a team of students to support the facilitators in their running of the break out sessions. The output of this work represents the thoughts of 270 people from 37 countries who addressed 15 different themes in 16 working groups over two days. This comes to the equivalent of nearly 1300 hours of work by the members of the working groups. We hope we have brought an independence and a level of analytical skills to these deliberations, representing here only the opinions expressed in the working groups and reflecting the themes that emerged over the two days of the Forum. -
