BANNED BOOK PROJECT TIPS AND TRICKS
Censorship Histories • Consult 100 Banned Books first • Search smart: “How many times has Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret been banned in schools in the United States?” • “Book title,” banned, challenged, removed, censored
Biographies • Short and to the point • Try to find info about their writing career • May or may not be able to find info about their response to book banning/censorship • Paraphrasing would be appropriate (with citations, of course)
Decision Points • Book’s theme • Author’s message/intent • Availability in school libraries • Part of instructional program?
More Decision Points • Consider multiple perspectives (parent, student, teacher, administration, community members, to name a few) • Support your argument • Look at precedent and history
