About Communication Class

Communication is fundamental to the human experience. We all do it, and in all sorts of different ways. In this class we will explore how we make meaning of the world around us through the practices of reading and writing.

During the first trimester, we will read about the lives of people we look up to and compare our experience to theirs. Then, we will write the story of our future.

Weekly Checklist
