Language Arts/Reading
| “Command and teach these things. Let no one have
contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech,
conduct, love, faith, and purity. Until I arrive, attend to reading,
exhortation, and teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was
conferred on you through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the
presbyterate. Be diligent in these matters; be absorbed in them, so that your
progress may be evident to everyone. Attend to yourself and to your teaching;
persevere in both tasks, for by doing so you will save both yourself and those
who listen to you.” 1 Timothy 4:11-16 The mission of
communication arts (reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing) in the
Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas is to empower students to become effective
communicators, lifelong learners, and faith-filled witnesses to the Catholic
faith. By encouraging an appreciation of reading, our students will grow to
cherish the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God and as a form of literature.
Students will gain understanding of other cultures and value literature as an
expression of human experience. Communication arts should be integrated in all
disciplines and should reflect Catholic teachings and Christian values. |
