We'll finish the last scene of the film in class on Tuesday. For your tutorial/ at home block...
Choose an article to read and complete the table provided in class.
Let's make connections between the fictional film The Hate U Give and the world we live in today. There is room to discuss minority groups in Canada, gang membership in general, police brutality in the States, and/or even unpacking Capitol Hill. You may pick the direction you want to focus on. If the current news is a bit overwhelming or tiring, perhaps something like "Into the Abyss" might be of interest - it presents more as a chapter in a sociology textbook, but this distance might be more comfortable reading (though the material is slightly challenging).
Options for Exploration (or choose your own article):
I've indicated the publisher where relevant instead of the author, based on our previous conversations on left/right/middle-wing source material.
