Jane Austen and Charles Dickens

To continue the studying of English Literature I am ready to present two new chapters from the coursebook. These parts have been created in cooperation with the Lycee students who graduated in 2013. The chapter telling about Jane Austen is based on the project work by Daria KRASNOVYCH, while Charles Dickens's life and literary activities were studied by Karina DRESHPAN.

MY FAVORITE TEACHER

Better late than never... However, I am glad to present our traditional annual project work. This time it was done by the students of Group 34-Ph eager to share their feelings about the educators of Naukova Zmina Lycee.


"...Every teacher of our educational institution is worthy of respect, for the reason that each of them has their own merits... The teachers of the Lycee are still excited and enthusiastic about their occupation; every morning they open classrooms in expectation of a new day full of fun and bright emotions..." (From Anna GAVRILYUK's essay)

SURVEY: TEENAGERS’ SUBCULTURES IN NAUKOVA ZMINA

GRUNGE

The next survey results publication has been prepared by Anastasia SHUMAN and Maria TROKOZ, who studied the issue of youth subcultures represented in the Lyceum.  The report will be published in the Hyde Park in due time, and now you can read it clicking HERE .
The majority of the polled attribute themselves to 'hipsters' or 'grunge'. My own little investigation into the case prompted that 'hipsters' ARE a subculture, but 'grunge' seems to be just a style of garments. Popular in the 1990s it is back again. If I am right, we are dealing with an overwhelming majority of about 80 per cent of our students opposing everything 'mainstream'. No wonder. We teach them to think independently.

And a little bit of irony, of course...

Survey: Smoking Among Teenagers

The students of Group 45-Ph have conducted a number of surveys on different issues. I am proud to present the first report submitted by Eugenia TSAPENKO, whose task was to investigate the problem of smoking among teens. As a result we can portray a non-smoking teenager commenting on his/her personality. All the surveys will be published in the Hyde Park in due time and now you can read the author's report by clicking HERE .

Happy April Fools' Day! Again.

Traditionally, the first day of April is marked in the lycee by publishing a collection of jokes compiled by the students. I am proud to state that this is the fourth publication in the Hyde Park, which makes it a nice tradition. This year this project has been done by the students of Groups 14-Ph and 35-Ph. If you are too busy (or too lazy) to come and read the collected jokes displayed on the bulletin board, you can do that by clicking HERE .

Personality: Joan of Arc

There is a new contribution to the Gallery of Personalities Who Changed the World made by Eugenia TSAPENKO of group 45-Ph. She has chosen Joan of Arc who showed what faith and dedication can do even if you are a young girl. For centuries Joan of Arc has been a symbolic figure of the Western Civilization.
