We want to promote the development of strong reading skills and to enrich students’ vocabulary; but even more, we want students to appreciate the pleasures of a good read. Furthermore, the written prompts we ask students to complete afford them the opportunity to practice both standardized testing and SAT writing skills while the reading itself gives them another book with which to “make connections” on these standardized tests. I Love This Book! This year, incoming sophomores, juniors, and seniors will be given the opportunity to take part in the “I Love ​ ​ This Book!” program. Instead of reading one of the required books, students may sign up to read a book being ​ offered for discussion by a member of the Morgan faculty or staff. In September, students will discuss this book in a book chat with a faculty member. We are hoping that discussing the book with other readers will stimulate students’ enthusiasm and heighten their appreciation of the text. A very limited number of copies of these books will be on loan at the Henry Carter Hull library. Students should read actively and be prepared to demonstrate their knowledge of the book at the chat; thus, it might be a good idea to take notes. Required Reading Students not participating in the “I Love This Book!” Program must read from the book(s) on the attached ​ ​ ​ ​ required reading lists. College Prep students who opt to do the required reading must complete two of the accompanying writing prompts prior to their return to school in September. These prompts will be collected and graded. The prompts give teachers the opportunity to assess students’ skills at interpretation and to evaluate the extent to which they engaged with the literature. Students are strongly encouraged to keep a reading journal as they read, as these journals could be very helpful in future discussions of the text; the journals, however, will not be collected or graded. Students are encouraged to read often, choosing books that interest them. You will find attached an extensive list of award-winning books chosen for their readability and for their relevance to teens and teen issues. Please be advised that the free choice books are just that, choices. Be aware that some may confront controversial issues, explore adult situations and contain strong language. Summer reading requirements are spelled out on the pages which follow, by student level. College Prep students who have signed up in advance, may substitute an “I Love This Book!” choice for the required book. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Honors students, however, must read an “I Love This Book!”choice and the required texts. ​ Clinton Public Schools Clinton, CT 2 REQUIRED READING LISTS Honors Students Honors Students: Keep a reader response journal.

    Spring Film Focus Film Spring VOLUME 26 | NUMBER 2 | SPRING/SUMMER 2010 | $10.00 Deriving from the German weben—to weave—weber translates into the literal and figurative “weaver” of textiles and texts.Weber (the word is the same in singular and plural) are the artisans of textures and discourse, the artists of the beautiful fabricating the warp and weft of language into ever-changing pattterns. Weber, the journal, understands itself as a tapestry of verbal and visual texts, a weave made from the threads of words and images. Shaw on the Screen Few members of the turn-of-the-century literary intelligentsia were more interested in film than George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950). As a playwright making a living with spoken words, and as a writer as voluble as the characters in his plays, it came naturally to him to have opinions about a new medium that would soon emancipate itself into a new art form, even as it took its first artistic prompts from the stage. Shaw was an original subscriber to the Film Society of 1925, a coterie of British and often left-leaning intellectuals that included Julian Huxley, John Maynard Keynes, and Roger Fry, among others. The group set itself the task of screening artistic films—frequently from the Soviet Union—which were not widely available in central Europe, with a view toward generating artistic and George Bernard Shaw political discussion. In 1928, one year before he would make his own first appearance in a sound film, after already having appeared in several silent short features, Shaw became outspoken on the subject of not-only-cinematic censorship.

  • Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 2 Where Do You Go When All the Love Has Gone?
    Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 2 Where Do You Go When All The Love Has Gone? Those are lyrics that I have just made up. I’m sure you’ll agree that I’m up there with all the modern musical geniuses, such as Prince, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and Justin Bieber. But where am I going with this? I have an idea and it WILL make sense. Or so I hope… The beauty with Doctor Who is that even when the 13 weeks worth of episodes have gone, we don’t need to cry and mourn for its disappearance (or in my case – ran off without a word and never contacted me again). There are all sorts of commodities out there that we can lay our hands on and enjoy. (I’m starting to regret making this analogy now, as the drug-crazed aliens from Torchwood: Children of Earth would have been a better comparison!) The sheer size of Doctor Who fandom is incredibly huge and you’ll always be able to pick up something that’ll make you feel the way you do when you’re stuck in the middle of an episode. (This fanzine is akin to Love and Monsters than Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, to be honest!) Whether it be a magazine, book, DVD, audiobook, toy (they ARE toys btw), convention, podcast or even a fanzine, it’s all out there for us to explore and enjoy when a series ends, so we’ve no need to get upset and pine until Christmas! And wasn’t Series 5 (or whatever you want to call it) just superb? I can be quite smug here and say that I was never worried about Matt Smith nailing the role of The Doctor.

  • Watch Steve Javie Work a Basketball Game and You'll Recognize Him As
    Feature-Steve Javie profile update 4/1/08 7:53 AM Page 1 Feature-Steve Javie profile update 4/1/08 7:53 AM Page 2 STEVE BY DAVE SIMON Watch Steve Javie work a basketball game and you’ll recognize him as an official who is clearly in control. The same can be said about his life off the court. But listen to the man talk and you’ll find out it wasn’t always that way. alk to NBA officiating greats Joe T Crawford and Ed T. Rush, and you come to one conclusion: Steve Javie is simply the best. Both men see Javie ascending to the top of their profession after many years of hard work, pitfalls and maturation. For Crawford, one of Javie’s closest friends, in particular, it’s personal because it’s about more than officiating. It’s about life. “I’ve learned so much from the guy,” said Crawford. “Beyond being best friends, he’s taught me how to live life off the court. When I tell him that, he looks at me like I’m nuts. He epitomizes what an NBA ref should be on and off the court. He has no idea how much he’s helped my life off the court.” Crawford calls Javie “the best official I’ve ever worked with.” He outlines three requirements for greatness: rules knowledge, play calling and game management. “You can be a good official with one of those qualities, great with two, and only Javie has all three. I certainly don’t,” Crawford adds.

  • Bill Russell and the Basketball Revolution
    Bill Russell and the Basketball Revolution Aram Goudsouzian "We see each other as men," said Bill Russell, explaining the 1969 Na­ tional Basketball Association championship of the Boston Celtics. "We judge a guy by his character."1 Russell had just concluded his glorious career, winning his eleventh NBA title in thirteen seasons and ensuring his status as the greatest winner in the history of American team sports. His defensive mastery, moreover, transfigured the game's patterns, compelling a faster and more athletic sport. But Russell's legacy stretches deeper and wider. It concerns the emerging link between bas­ ketball and blackness, both in terms of cultural style and political import. It intersects with the achievements of the civil rights movement, the impulses to­ ward racial brotherhood, and African-American self-pride. It touches upon Russell's explanations of his team's success: manhood and character. Russell did not desegregate the NBA, but he integrated it. He became the first black superstar—the first to generate copious publicity, the first to alter the sport's texture, the first to shape a team's championship destiny. Moreover, in the midst of the civil rights movement, Russell presided over basketball's model of successful racial integration. As the Celtics won title after title, Russell ex­ changed public praise and private loyalty with his white teammates and coach, and other blacks became critical cogs in the Celtics machine. He further em­ bodied sport's cherished values of selflessness, integrity, and intelligence in his perpetual triumphs over celebrated rival Wilt Chamberlain. In 1966 Russell became the first African-American coach of any professional American sport, 0026-3079/2006/4703/4-061S2.50/0 American Studies, 47:3/4 (Fall-Winter 2006): 61-85 61 62 Aram Goudsouzian and as player-coach he led the Celtics to two NBA titles in three years.
