In Communications and Digital Literacy, students focus on reading and analyzing a variety of texts and sources to deepen their understanding of how communicators utilize rhetoric. They will learn about lateral reading, source voracity, and the use of rhetorical devices, as well as compare how ideas are presented in multiple sources. Through written analysis, reflection, and speech practice, students will strengthen their interpretive and critical thinking skills. All topics align with Idaho State Standards and support continued growth as analytical and effective communicators.
