Wondering #2

Finding a purpose:  
1) I want to find out more about censorship of books in public and school libraries.
2) The project is required.  
I love reading and, although I don't get to read much, I am especially interested in the censorship of books in libraries.  


Questioning:
On McKenzie's website (questioning.org), a neat article is archived called "The Questioning Toolkit."  This article proposes that k-12 students are given a "toolkit" of questions that slowly builds as their capacity for critical thinking increases.  The article lists all sorts of questions that I've asked, which I'm going to post separately.


Finding a focus and narrowing topic:
I used a concept map from Inspiration for this.  I'll post it separately.  As I research, though, I may need to narrow a bit more.  


Prior knowledge:
What do I already know about censorship in schools.  Well, it happens at our school all the time.  Not only will our media specialist not purchase the Twilight series, but our librarian refused to buy the Printz-winning book Going Bovine.  I also know it happens often in small-town libraries and especially in school libraries.  I want to know more about what books have been challenged, banned, or censored from school libraries.  


Contemplating:
I want to know more about censorship in school libraries.  
This topic appeals to me especially because I want to work in a library.  I love reading and want to learn more about how it is being censored.  
This topic held my interest as I researched it and there's plenty of secondary and primary sources I can tap.    Getting excited!
