 * ---Reading Promotion Project: Celebrate Banned Books Week-**

I've met thousands of children and not even one time has a child come up to me and said "Ms. Rowling, I'm so glad I read these books because now I want to be a witch." J.K. Rowling

"I feel badly for the children because it sends a message to them that there is something wrong with reading, that we don't want them to read this book because there's something in it that we don't want them to know." Judy Blume

The project description includes information about the project, lesson ideas, and some goals of Banned Books Week. The teaching and learning standards link includes Standards for the 21st Century Learner. MoSTEP standards, and GLE's and CLE's for Communication Arts and Social Studies.

This set of links are for all the PR materials for the project. The student flyer is meant to displayed around the school both before and during the actual week the project takes place. The parent newsletter will be available on the library/school's website, in the office, and will potentially be mailed or sent home with students. The informational letter for the principal will be given well in advance of the project's date for review and to allow for any changes to be made or questions to be answered. Promotional items includes poster and library display ideas including images and descriptions. [|student flyer.pdf] [|parent newsletter.pdf] [|Principal Information.pdf] [|promotional items.pdf]

The additional lessons link has information about two lesson ideas that may not work for every school. If your school has the resources and willing teachers these would be great supplemental activities. [|Additional Lesson Ideas.pdf]
