Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Crossett District Curriculum

Crossett School District uses the Common Core Standards. The district explains on its website that although there are fewer standards, the Common Core Standards are more rigorous than the previously utilized state standards in that they require students to use higher-order thinking skills and solve problems. Their main benefit is to get students ready for college and their careers. Crossett’s administrators reviewed and altered the district’s vision, mission, and core beliefs so that they fit into the Common Core framework.

The design of this curriculum was based on overarching units, or themes, which were divided into weekly units of study. For example, during unit one in literacy, third grade students retell stories, read multicultural stories, read and interpret poetry, review various parts of speech, write stories, and conduct basic research. There is both a series of focus standards and supporting standards that align with these activities.

Chalk Talk: Determining the Author’s Purpose

Authors always have a purpose for writing a piece or a story, and it is important for students to be able to decipher their purpose in order to fully understand the text they are reading. Typically, the author writes in order to do one of the following: to inform, entertain, or persuade the audience. Expository texts that provide a great abundance of facts and information were likely written to inform readers about a topic. Texts that attempt to convince readers to do something or think a certain way, such as to purchase a particular product, were probably written to persuade; advertisements and commercials almost always aim to persuade. Lastly, works that do not include information or attempt to persuade readers but are simply enjoyable to read have the purpose of entertaining. Oftentimes, it may be tricky for students to decide on one of these purposes because texts may do more than one thing. In these cases, students should be instructed to choose the best option, or what the author is doing the most.
