Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "Crowd" by Dax Everitt.

In "Crowd," a nonbinary person with a disability encounters several obstacles on their commute to work.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge, Identity, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How do we understand the world around us?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "What makes you who you are?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this fiction - general at home:
    • What was "Crowd" about?
    • What did you learn about Education & Knowledge?
    • What did you learn about Identity?
    • What did you learn about Resilience & Success?
  • Watch the following clips with your child at home:
