  1. Should books be banned? Product: Hosting a book drive Christina Phillips

  2. Why I chose This topic • Ever since I was young, reading has always been a big part of my life • I feel as though reading helped my overall education and important knowledge for life • Literature is a big part of our society and our culture and it should be handled as such

  3. Research • After the invention of the printing press shortly following, a censorship office was established • Most of the people who were trying to get rid of certain books were composed of religious groups • As history continued books influenced and helped people achieve higher standards of education. More knowledge and information was being spread at high rates.

  4. Research • Most books in fact are not banned, they are challenged. It is actually very hard to get a book completely banned out of a library. • There is a very long and tedious process to go forward with the steps of getting a book reviewed and/or removed. • As a society we have adapted to handling issues with books more professionally

  5. Research • The public has become more lenient with expression and exposure to content in books • In the United States we have developed a way to prevent less conflicts and issues with content in books • Publishing offices are now required to have a committee review a book before it is published to decide on common issues about content and where the book may be allowed

  6. Obstacles • Finding non-bias information • Getting summaries on why certain books were banned/challenged • Being correct regarding the time events occurred in history

  7. Successes • Getting lots of perspectives and opinions on book banning and censorship • Retrieving list of often challenged books and authors • Was able to see a growth in fairly justifying books through time

  8. Link to product • After learning about book banning and censorship, I wanted to find a way to incorporate what I learned by encouraging and supporting literature exposure to my community

  9. My product

  10. What I thought about the project • The project was a challenging and rewarding experience. It was very worthwhile and important. It gave me a big task to get done and encouraged me to take responsibility and get involved in my community.

  11. What I learned about myself • I learned that I can very much handle carrying out an activity in a large setting by myself • I make good ideas and plans, but need to be more motivated to make sure they get done in a professional and timely manner • I am very creative and preparing displays and events make me happy

  12. How this will help me in the future • I feel confident that the project will help me with similar assignments with college level courses • I have now learned the importance of planning and taking aggressive action when incorporating others with projects I need to get done

  13. Thank you for your time • Any questions?
