Objectives
The following objectives are in line with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. These objectives fall within the following environments and bring together oral and written language.
Expressive
The expressive domain involves exploring and sharing personal insights and experiences. As authors, the students write and speak for personal, expressive reasons. As a reader or listener (as with poetry), they learn to appreciate the experiences of others.
Informational
The informational domain involves giving information to explain ideas or to teach people what the student wants others to know. The student communicates so the audience gains knowledge from the information given.
Argumentative
The argumentative domain involves defining and defending issues and identifying reasonable solutions to problems. The solutions should be coherent and relevant to the issue at hand.
Critical
The critical domain involves making informed choices. Materials are interpreted and judged and defended with rational ideas.
