My students need copies of "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas for a social justice unit. It is not uncommon for students to read texts that do not reflect their cultures, communities, and relevant issues, which is something I want to change. My 8th graders will be pairing moments of "The Hate U Give" with other works of literature including: fiction, non-fiction, drama, visual art, and poetry. It is time for students to see themselves in the literature they read. I'm hoping this beautiful work of fiction will further invest students in the act reading and begin an important conversation that should be happening all over our country regarding race, bias, and power.
