October 24, 2022 Dear parent or guardian, As part of our English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum, we will soon begin a unit titled The Power of Perception. In this unit, students will read about a variety of ways in which our perceptions can be influenced. The texts we will read center on the Essential Question: “How does our point of view shape our view of the world?” This open-ended question is intended to spark thoughtful discussion. You may wish to explore this question with your student at home as well. Unit 2 includes the following texts. How Do You See Your Self(ie)?: This informational text explores both negative and positive aspects of taking selfie photos. Students will learn to identify the central idea of an informational text and understand the author’s purpose and point of view. Mirror: This poem explores our focus on appearances through the perspective of a mirror. Students will learn to analyze the speaker in a poem and analyze figurative language. The Night Face Up: This short story weaves together two plots, one in a modern hospital and the other involving an Aztec ritual. Students will analyze plot structure and make inferences. The 100-Person Planet: This infographic depicts a variety of characteristics of people around the world, from age to internet access. Students will interpret graphics and analyze the motives of the graphic’s creator. A Contribution to Statistics: A Nobel prize-winning poet categorizes people according to personality characteristics before concluding that we are all mortal. Students will analyze literary devices and poetic structure. Students will analyze the messages developed by choices about details as they compare “The 100-Person Planet” and “A Contribution to Statistics.” Honors students will have an extended reading related to the unit theme and Essential Question. In this unit, we will be reading All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Students will receive a schedule for daily reading at the beginning of the unit. Assignments will be assigned throughout the 9 weeks based on this novel. The Unit Writing Task, Write an Explanation, asks students to synthesize their reading and support their ideas using relevant evidence from a variety of sources. All assignments except for the Long Reads are available through your student’s eBook. Please contact me if you have any questions about this unit. Thank you, Mrs. Adams

Dear Parents and Students, Beginning Wednesday (October 25), Crossett High School will begin using the digital hall pass system SmartPass. SmartPass is a digital hall pass system that replaces traditional hall passes such as sign-out sheets, wooden blocks, passbooks, and lanyards. It provides administrators an accounting of which students are outside of the classroom during the school day. In case of emergencies such as fires, severe weather, or building intruders, administrators have real-time access to this critical information. Overall, the pass history of a student will lead to more effective and informative parent-teacher conferences, as well as ensuring students are where they should be in the classroom learning. Students and staff can access SmartPass from their school-provided device at www.smartpass.app/login. For more information, please visit the vendor’s website at www.smartpass.app. Sincerely, Stephanie Brooks
