Read MoreDear readers,
It is with great pleasure that we introduce the first issue of our school online newspaper in English.
This publication is the result of the work and dedication of a group of passionate students who contributed to lay the groundwork of what is intended to be a platform to showcase the talents and creativity of our school community.
In this first issue, you will find a variety of articles covering various topics, ranging from topicalities to reviews and global issues, including creative content related to school subjects. This includes an absolutely stunning series of interviews to a Viking, some highly original Love poems inspired by J.Donne for the use of paradoxes and a real challenge for Shakespeare’s enthusiasts, a few creative extensions to The Tempest!
Our hope is that this newspaper will spark inspiration and motivate all students who have ideas and experiences they want to share.
We welcome your feedback and contributions for future issues, so If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us at hemlock@liceosocrate.edu.it
Sincerely,
L.L. and the staff of The Hemlock
