Paper details Censorship Research Project Banning books is a long held way to censor books meant for young people. Each year communities across the country ban books. As future educators, you may be on the front lines of such issues in the near future and you must be prepared. You will complete a 3-4 page research paper on the topic of censorship in schools. Specifically, you will answer the question:
Why does a community ban a book? You will investigate one community’s decision to ban a book. This means you will need to research: • The history of the community • The publication history of the book • The reason the book was banned • The impact banning the book had on local schools Which book, and where it was banned, is entirely up to you
