Banned books

I have no idea what I'm doing or it this will work, but I'll give it a try. I'm trying to figure out what I can do for a lesson on Banned books - because that's what this week is celebrating. I've done some research, and now I'll have to come up with something for my students to discuss. Any ideas?

    Hi Sandy,

    I found a possible resource for you on the Read, Write, Think Lesson plan site:

    The page is titled, "A Case for Reading—Examining Challenged and Banned Books."
    Here is the link:

    I am sorry that I am too late. I also found the Read Write Think page. If you do the lesson next year, try this site:
