 "Tide Talk" is the official podcast of the Everett High School English Department. Join us as we bring students and teachers together to talk about books, films, or other texts which explore important issues in contemporary culture.

These are our 5 main goals:

1. Promote literacy and literary engagement for both students and staff.
2. Create a forum for civil, respectful, and open discussion of ideas and opinions.
3. Foster dialogue and exchange of ideas among students and their teachers.
4. Allow for a diverse collection of voices to be heard and listened to on important topics.
5. Share and celebrate some of the work of our students and teachers with the larger community.Copyright EHS English Department

    May 29 2021
    Join us for part 2 of our conversation with Ms. Bendler, Ms. Nardi, Ms. Devino, Mrs. Simmons, and 11th grader Emma on the topic of "cancel culture" and whether it is bad for America, or just another term for accountability for bad behavior.

    In this final section, the panel debates the validity of several instances of "canceled" individuals from Alan Dershowitz's book, and gets into some of the controversies involving removal of Confederate statues as well as proposed cancellations of other historical figures such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

    Mr. McGowan is joined by Grade 11 student Emma along with teachers Mrs. Simmons, Ms Devino, Ms Nardi, and Ms Bendler to discuss the Alan Dershowitz book "Cancel Culture: The Latest Attack on Free Speech and Due Process."

    In Part 1 of the conversation, the panel gets into whether they agree with Dershowitz that cancel culture is un-American and must be stopped, and debate whether readers should take into account an author's personal biography when considering their ideas.

    1.11 Part 2/2 "The Hate U GIve": Indoctrination or a mirror to society?
    May 29 2021
    Part 2 of our conversation with Mikayla, Julianna, Geralisha, and Sophia, and their English teacher Ms. Devino, abou the book "The Hate U GIve," a new addition to our sophomore curriculum this year.

    The major question of this section is, what would the students and teacher say to people who criticized the teaching of this book as being either obscene or anti-police indoctrination? The students reflect on the experience of reading a controversial text rooted in real-life themes.
