NM 10
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.
The objective is to show that we can unpack a news article, as well as critically consider it by connecting it to our film.
