Description

As the culminating project for this unit, students prepare for and undergo a trial to convince a panel of experts whether or not a teacher, author, student, or school should be responsible for actions surrounding banned books. Students take on the roles of prosecutors, defenders, expert witnesses, or witnesses for the prosecution or defense. Students act out the connection between our Constitutional Rights and the banned books each of them were assigned to read.
