Week 5, Day 2
Objective: Students use comprehension skills to analyze how texts work together in various forms to impact meaning. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts.  Evaluate how messages presented in media reflect social and cultural views in ways different from traditional texts.  Evaluate the objectivity of coverage of the same event in various types of media.  Discuss influences that cause some books to be banned.
  1. Turn your bell work spiral in on the chrome book cart. Please make sure your name is visible on the front cover!
  2. Bell Work:  This week is Banned Books Week.  Why do you think some books are banned?  Explain your reasoning.  (You will do this bell work on your own paper and transfer it into your spiral when you get it back.)
  3. Banned Book Videos
    1. Lauren Myracle Interview
    2. 100 Banned Books
    3. BLEEP
    4. Banned Books
    5. "Religious Nuts in Texas..."

  4. Banned Book Information
    1. Using the lists on the website, make a list of 5 books you'd like to read and 5 you've already read.  If you come up with more...that is okay!
  5. If time allows, look for videos on YouTube that are about Banned Book Week.
