COMMUNICATION ARTS

Communication is a necessity to compete, succeed, and achieve in the educational arena. Students must be able to articulate their thoughts, debate a topic, dictate conceptual information and express their beliefs in a formal manner. Reading comprehension, written and oral communication, and distinguishing relationships between formal and informal language will be taught. Students will be prepared to compete at all levels in local and District wide competitions. Public speaking, prayers, reciting poetry, and choral reading will be stressed from Nursery throughout the eighth grade.
