> I'm looking for some lesson points for introducing banned books to my 3rd -6th graders. Our library is small and not too current. It doesn't have too many banned books to choose from so I borrowed  13 from my library. It's sort of a hodgepodge of a selection. I see kids 2x/week for 30 minutes and was thinking about maybe doing this for two weeks if need be. Ideas include:

> Risk vs. Reward (of banning books)

> Banned Book Debate (teaching the art of debate first)

> First Amendment Lessons (which could lead to conversations about the Constitution)
