The Hate U Give *Exclusive Interview with Starr Carter*
In our second unit of Forbidden books, we learned about books that have been censored for big or small reasons. We went on a trip to see an author's book was banned in Illinois jails and was able to ask questions of why her book was banned. We also learned dogma. Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. Then we were able to choose a banned book to read and interview with a character.
