The Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS’ 4th grade teaching team led students through a unit on book banning this fall which culminated in a letter to Scholastic expressing concern about the way books are categorized at their book fairs.
In the math and science classroom, students studied book ban data and completed graphing projects and reflections.
In the ELA and social studies classroom, students participated in a power simulation in order to challenge the idea that a small group should be able to dictate which books a large number of students have access to in their schools or libraries.
