  • Reading Black Lives Matter
    Reading Black Lives Matter Over the last few months there has been significant media coverage of the Black Lives Matter campaign. This is a good time then, for those of us in education to reflect on our practice and ask ourselves how we can promote genuine inclusion, equality and be pro- actively anti-racist. One area that always demands scrutiny is the curriculum. What is absent and excluded sends a strong message. To that end, the English team at CPA have been creating a new English Curriculum and making sure it includes positive and diverse representations of young Black people by contemporary writers. Some of the books we have chosen to include are listed below. I hope you’ll be as excited as we are by the choices we’ve made. The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta Michael waits in the stage wings, wearing a pink wig, pink fluffy coat and black heels. One more step will see him illuminated by spotlight. He has been on a journey of bravery to get here, and he is almost ready to show himself to the world in bold colours ... Can he emerge as The Black Flamingo? The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community.

But even thousands of miles away from the California coast, at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy she’s tried to outrun. Now, months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. Mabel is coming to visit and Marin will be forced to face everything that’s been left unsaid and finally confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart. Skyward by Brandon Sanderson Spensa's world has been under attack for decades. Now pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream.

  • Power in Words
    McGreevy !1 Bailey McGreevy National English Honor Society Intellectual Freedom Challenge Power in Words Emmett Till, Trayvon Martin, Keith Lamont Scott, and Kahlil Harris are some of the hundreds of African American men that have been fatally shot throughout history by white men (some even police officers). The Black Lives Matter movement participants raise their fists for equality, justice, and unity for those African Americans who are unable to speak today. Angie Thomas’ novel, The Hate U Give, follows the victory of sixteen year-old Starr Carter over the struggle in finding her voice to speak about something only she was a witness to: her best friend Kahlil Harris’ murder. Kahlil was unarmed and shot by a white police officer, and throughout the novel, his story is manipulated by those who choose to avert from the truth of racism. Thomas’ novel is a powerful fist raised for justice and equality, and allows for the youth to see different perspectives on social injustice and police brutality. In an instant, Khalil’s life flashes before Starr’s eyes. One-second he was brushing his hair in the car with his hairbrush, and the next he was in a pool of his own blood after the police officer, “One-Fifteen,” shot him dead. While Starr crouches over Khalil’s body, hoping for some form of life, “officer One-Fifteen yells at [Starr], pointing the same gun he killed [her] friend with. [She] put [her] hands up” (Thomas 24). Even though Starr and Khalil followed the directions of the officer, the white officer continued to behave unfavorably toward them.
