I posted a few days ago that I'm using virtual sticky notes. In the Wiggling process, students will need some kind of tool to help them organize their information. In writing class, I like to give students a variety of graphic organizers and let them choose which ones will help them the most...
As I sort through information, I decided to organize it by the ISSUES presenting themselves in these books. As I researched different instances of censorship, I saw that there were various reasons why books were banned. The Golden Compass, for example, was censored for religious purposes. So, religious purposes would YELLOW be yellow.
Then I ran into a problem...The book I'm currently researching is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. That has been censored for social and moral reasons. Hmm...So, here's my plan...I'm going to do a concept map graphing out the different reasons books have been banned. I'm going to do a different color sticky note for each book to avoid confusion. =)
