2. Write two paragraphs explaining how oral communication,
reading, writing, and media literacy work together to enhance
your learning.
In other words, consider how the skills in one area aid you in the
other areas. Do this for each of the above areas: oral communication,
reading, writing, and media literacy. Example. Explain how reading,
writing, and media literacy aid you in being a good oral
communicator.
There are various similar skills in oral communication, reading, writing, and
media literacy that can help benefit one another. For instance, when you read a
book, you expand your vocabulary and sentence structuring, which can
contribute to your own writing by permitting you to use the knowledge that
you obtain from the book to evolve your word choices and sentence fluency
which can also impact your oral communication by being able to communicate
with Proper sentences and a more extensive vocabulary.
When writing, you expressive yourself and your idea. Writing includes the
ability to represent letters and words accurately and develop and express one's
thoughts in a cohesive, structured manner, which aids you in being an excellent
oral communicator cause you can now communicate your idea.
As mentioned earlier, your blog will serve as a portfolio of your
work. Now that you have finished Unit 1, it is time to decide what
two pieces of work you wish to post to your blog: persuasive speech,
memoir, narrative or descriptive essay. Explain why you feel the
pieces you have selected demonstrate your competence as a writer.
The two pieces of work that I choose to post are my memoir and my descriptive
essay. I feel like these pieces demonstrate my competence as a writer because
they allow me to write about anything event that happened to me. When you
have that kind of freedom to write about anything, it opens up your creativity,
enabling you to write some exciting and attractive literature.
