Required of all tenth graders (and integrated into American Studies), Oral Communication introduces various types of public speaking and oral interpretation of poetry, drama, and prose. Students analyze the communication process and ways to influence audiences. They also develop listening skills and participate in audience critiques of other speakers. The course emphasizes performance activities, but writing, reading of selected literature and use of library resources are integral parts of the curriculum.
