Year 9 English - The Hate U Give

“What’s the point of having a voice if you’re gonna be silent in those moments when you shouldn’t be?"

Students in Miss Caputo’s year 9 English class have been studying the text The Hate U Give (THUG) by Angie Thomas. Following the life of 16-year-old Starr Carter, the text delves into the themes of identity, loyalty, and the power of language. Students demonstrated their learning through completing a biography discussing character strengths, weaknesses, accomplishments, and sense of being.
