Schüler machen Zeitung! H.I.S. Junior Journalists

In November and December 2019 the grade 9/10 German Language and Literature class took part in the annual project “Schüler machen Zeitung” organised by the local Rhein Neckar Zeitung.

The project entailed a daily RNZ subscription and a newspaper article writing competition. Each year several hundred students from schools in the Heidelberg area participate in this project. Every student writes an article about a topic of personal interest. The best articles are chosen and published by the RNZ.

Finally, last week, in a separate “Sonderbeilage” of the RNZ, the best 40 student articles were published and we are very proud that you can find 4 articles of H.I.S. students among them.

Well done Anton, Elli, Eshal, Franklin, and Jooke!

Online Music

The G6 German language Acquisition class started to vividly present their daily routines on Powerpoint via Zoom last week.

Brianna and Frau Stricker introduced their dogs and Pablo even gave an impromptu concert on his French Horn! Bravo, Pablo! Let’s hope we can soon go back to our usual routines and in the meantime, stay connected and make the best of the new learning opportunities we have!
