“A writer is nothing without a reader; a reader is nothing without a writer.”
―
Anthony Liccione
Happy first day of school. I hope all of you have had an awesome summer and are ready to get gritty with digesting some text. I promise we will read a lot, we will write a lot, and we will explore who we are as readers, writers, and citizens of the world. I invite you to bring your ideas and questions about who you are as a speaker, a writer, and an inquirer of the world. Additionally, we will examine how these messages are sent and received and the impact of this dynamic interaction we call communication.
This is a college level class in which you will learn to critically read your texts with multiple lenses, develop a dialogue with rhetoric you see in the world, share your ideas with each other and writing. You will learn to polish and frame these ideas while working to become better rhetoricians (i.e. an effective communicator).
My expectations are high as I am sure your your talents will be well matched. I know you already have potential and ambition and I look forward to getting to know all of you.
Mrs. Murphy
