Week+1

Here are your assignments for Week 1 (due dates noted):

 * 1) Read the Challenged and Banned Books lecturette (due ASAP).
 * 2) Students will select a book from the six most frequently challenged books list for 2009, as provided by ALA: [|bannedbooks] Feel free to read reviews and summaries about the books to learn more about them and decided which ones you might like. No more than five students may read the same book, so you will submit to me your list of the five books in order of your preference and I will do my best to match you up with your first or second choice (email list to me by midnight Monday and by Tuesday you will have your assignment).
 * 3) As you read your book, record in a Google doc notes of elements that might be objectionable and categorized them based on the information you read in the Banned Books lecturette (completed as you read).
 * 4) Read your assigned book (that means the whole thing this week!)
