Now you will think about the skills you are acquiring in Language Arts that allow you to communicate well.
The skills of Language Arts are: Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, Viewing, and Representing.
You use these skills all of the time, even though you might not realize
it. Right now you are reading and perhaps listening as you work on the
course.
You will also be doing some writing when you complete assignments for an activity. You might do some speaking as you work with your teacher and others on the questions.
Outside of school, you will also be using these skills constantly, whether at home, with friends, or at work. Wherever you are, you will be using one or more of these skills because communication is something we do every day, always.
