Dragon Tribune #5 Posted

In this most recent launch I recommend you spend a moment tuning into the mind of a senior turning to Ben & Jerry’s for comfort on Valentine’s Day, a story about learning to budget written by a senior providing guidance to next year’s freshmen, an editorial about cursive being eliminated from the curriculum at some elementary schools, or the story about National Charity League.

The Dragon Tribune is amazing and something to read regularly.

The Web site is:  www.dragontribune.com

Students in this issue share photos with subscribers of the students from Tring, England,  who attended the Halloween band party.

Our Foreign Exchange Student compares the SAT and ACT with the college entrance exam in her native Germany.

 

An editorial on school’s disciplining students for postings on Twitter and/or Facebook, a news story about Carroll High School hosting VASE regional competition in 2013, concert going etiquette, a student sharing the impact of his mom’s death seven years ago.

 

Another student describes life in the home she shares with her 23 family members.

First Dragon Tribune Posted

We are excited about the first edition of the on-line Dragon Tribune posted earlier today. In this edition you'll find a story about the current court battle over education funding, the victories of two Carroll students in competitions they're passionate about, and a comparison of German and Carroll schools.

We look forward to all CISD community members reading the most recent paper.

In this latest launch, let me draw your attention to a wonderful feature story about a CHS sophomore student who just became Miss Teen Southlake 2012. Another student writes about taking her first flying lesson. A student writes about deciding to attend college in Scotland. And there’s a news story forecasting possible changes for next year’s homecoming dance.


Hope you enjoy this latest launch of student work.

Dragon Tribune Up for Holiday Edition

Students in grades 9-12 present some enjoyable reading for your holidays.  Choose from stories about a new trampoline park opening in Southlake, a review of our city’s best burgers, a story about one of our non-coffee drinking students becoming a part-time Barista’s Apprentice and a feature story about Glenn Brasher who you’ve no doubt seen on the sidelines of every Dragon football game in recent memory. And, of course, there’s much more.

Dragon Tibune First Edition 2011-2012

In this issue we have a variety of student work for you to enjoy on a wide range of subjects. The updated 2011 Tribune contains a story on the Haunted Circus, a feature on the Homecoming Dance, a story of student support at CHS, and a discussion from a student about their volunteer activities in Tanzania.

Dragon Tribune Posted

In this issue we have a variety of student work for you to enjoy on a wide range of subjects. Our students have focused on: post holiday blues, local homes with holiday spirit, a Harry Potter extravaganza, college roomates, Charm School thoughts, rock climbing attempts in a short period of time, local gyms that fit your needs, and curing country phobia.

Cozy up with your laptop on a cold dreary day (we have those in abundance this month and next) and read work from the imaginations of students you have helped to grow and learn.

Dragon Tribune Update

We were just notified of the recent update for the Dragon Tribune.

We have a student whose sport is polo that was interviewed for this issue. You can catch up with the latest trend on Facebook.  Read about our teacher at CHS who recently went on a dig. There's an interview with a student who saved her mom's life. A funny story of our foreign exchange student from Finland who went to the state fair and discovered Texans' fascination with all things deep fried.

To see the update go to http://www.dragontribune.com/

Dragon Tribune Arrives

The first edition of the 2010-2011 Dragon Tribune has been published.  The on-line newspaper can be accessed at: http://www.dragontribune.com/.

The first edition will encompass upcoming construction, car racing, foreign exchange students, and the next series for harry Potter fans to possibly enjoy.  We are proud of all of our participating students and certainly hope they will continue to produce outstanding stories.

Last Dragon Tribune Published

This is some of our best work of the year for our CISD newspaper students.

There is a series of stories on the front page titled "Progress the Tradition." Our students investigate improving our academic process.

With the on-line addition they have an interactive map on the front page of the newspaper to diagram where the senior students are headed.

Obviously the students are getting a handle on this new world of e-journalism and the future looks pretty bright. Hope you stay with them for the next installment in the fall.

This launch includes a commentary on the ABCs of Prom, an interview with a 2004 graduate who is touring with a band, reviews of the new exhibit at The Fort Worth Zoo: MOLA, a new radio station that features local bands, and colorful restaurant destinations in old town Roanoke.

There's more. A local kickball league is hosting Moms for Toms (shoes) charity event on May 8. The Carroll student who spent a semester in Brazil writes about soccer...Brazilian (obsessive) style, and another student writes about 101 Things to Make Yourself Happy (my particular favorite).

Dragon Tribune December Issue

My favorite seasonal story in this issue is about the competitive Gould children competing in their family's own yearly Gingerbread Championship. And I recommend the story ranking Christmas light displays around Southlake and the Metroplex.


Check out what these students see as the important events of the last ten years (since we're just days away from beginning a new decade). Keep in mind, given their current age, these writers were not quite 8 years old when the decade began. How's that for a wake-up call?

There are sports stories about girls and boys varsity basketball and wrestling. And a news story about class rank. A story written about this generation, the Millennials and a story about a young staff writer who sat down to watch 13 continuous hours of Star Wars movies. (I don't begin to know why, but that story has its moments, as do many others.)

You might be interested in knowing that vinyl records are making a comeback (according to the students on staff, we actually did something right...all those years ago).

There's a spirited debate on the relative merits of the Twilight series.

A follow-up story about a student dedicating himself to getting all the free stuff he can from the coupons his parents received when they re-roofed their home. There's a feature story on a freshman girl who has released her first album. A delightful and heart warming story about a student's much-loved grandmother. And there's an equally great story of a student who spent a portion of her summer in Manilla to get a better understanding of her family's history.
