Banned Book Project Process:

: Choose 3 banned books the frequently challenged book list (children’s, young adult, and classics) on The Banned Book Week website. Choose carefully!

: Go to Easybib.com and type in your book title. It will give you a citation, click the first citation. Copy and paste it into a word document. This is your annotation. Underneath your annotation, type your summary as one paragraph, and type the reason the books has been banned as your second paragraph.

: Repeat for your second book and third book.

: Go onto the internet and research what the plot of the book. You must read summaries and paraphrase (put into your own words) the summaries online. Use the graphic organizer to help you. YOU MAY NOT SIMPLY COPY SOMEONE ELSE’S SUMMARYà THIS IS PLAGIARISM AND WILL RESULT IN A ZERO.

: Research why the book has been challenged/banned. You should search several references to make sure you get all of the reasons the book has been challenged/banned.

: Underneath your annotation, type your summary as one paragraph, and type the reason the books has been banned as your second paragraph.
