Banned/Challenged Book List
The books listed in the file below have all been banned or challenged at one point (past or present). We all have stories to tell and ideas to share and the thought that someone would try to silence an author's voice is unfortunate. Please research some of the banned/challenged books on the file and choose one to read for the banned/challenged book project. The mission of the banned/challenge book project is to create informed students, who make up their own minds in regards to what is and is not appropriate for literature. Students will be able to find the good and the bad in every piece of literature they read. Students will also be reviewing an authors style, diction, themes, symbolism, and writing style. This will give students a chance to read books that they may have never known existed.
1. Research some of the books on the banned book list or banned book descriptions (attached below). You may use Amazon.com, Borders, or Barnes and Noble.
2. Please email me 2-3 books that you would be interested in reading. You may email me at [email protected]. There is no doubling up on novels, so it is first come, first serve.
3. You will have the next 13 weeks to read your novels and present your project. It is up to you to go to our library or your local library/bookstore, in order to find the book of your choice. You may not use a book that is taught at OEHS (The Great Gatsby; Catcher in the Rye; To Kill a Mockingbird, etc.).
