Hello Freshman & Sophomores! 

World Literature and Communication is designed to introduce students to the themes in world literature while visiting a variety of rhetorical devices through the integration of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The literary units of study will include short stories, essays, novels, drama, and poetry. Students will learn theories foundational to the communication discipline including, but not limited to: historical communication, policy and Lincoln-Douglas debate formats, and mass communication dynamics. Students will master content standards laid out for ninth and tenth grade by the Common Core State Standards Initiative. This includes reading from literature and informational texts; improving foundational skills; writing in narrative, explanatory, and persuasive styles; speaking and listening in the aforementioned styles; and language skills including grammar, spelling, and vocabulary.

I look forward to this school year with you!
