Reading and Communications Plus is designed to build on prior reading skills, with an emphasis on comprehension. Students are guided to ask and respond to who, what, where, and why questions through various texts, movies, and conversations. They explore content through report writing and oral presentations on topics of choice within thematic units.

Improvisation (improv) is acting without a script—everything is spontaneous and made up on the spot. Improv, like social interaction, depends on one’s ability to assess a situation, perceive the behaviour and social cues of others, and then externally adapt, initiate, or respond appropriately.
