Some great dialogue at Brashear last week! Each of our three blocks chose their own topic for discussion.

Every student in Block 1 had lived in another country aside from the United States at some point, so, in the spirit of National Foreign Language Week, each Radio Club member talked about their first language. Later, in a round table setting, Block 1 talked about their experience coming to Brashear, which is Pittsburgh’s ESL (English Second Language) hub. Listen to their unique perspectives below.

With some of high school’s scariest time behind them, Block 2 channeled their experience and offered up some advice for incoming freshmen.

Block 3 decided pretty quickly that they wanted to talk about reading; addressing some of the joys, struggles, and takeaways from literature.
