Many of my students groan when asked to read or to write. It is a daily struggle to motivate my students daily. It is my goal to ignite a literacy fire in my students I plan to use The Hate U Give to foster a love for reading among my students. I will also use the book to teach many concepts that my students struggle to master such as theme, complex characters, characterization, and plot. I will also use part of the book to teach valuable social and emotional development topics such as responsibility, empathy, self-awareness, and code of conduct.
