Reading Comprehension Strategy:
The teachers teaching this lesson is well informed of the necessary reading comprehension strategies
students must be proficient in by the end of their high school career. To ensure students are successful,
teachers will engage students with numerous strategies to best fit the needs of all learners. The below
reading strategies is what students will partake in:
Activating background knowledge- Students will talk amonst their peers and explore their ideas and
thoughts as they read through novels in in Ms. Hawkins literature class and discuss the era each novel
took place in while in Mrs. Walker’s history class. In history students will use what they know today and
state the differences from things taking place in different era’s of time. The media specialist will host a
learning session in the media center discussing the process of banning books, with both classes. Students
will play a game that will ask students to use what they know already and what they learned from the
orientation to answer questions from the game.
Questioning- Students will be asked to complete a task that involves answering a question and to give an
explanation as to why or why not one should be able to ban books and then have students ponder over
what they have learned about challenging material and come up with reasons the banning of books can
be achieved and when it is necessary.
Analyzing text structure- Students will be asked to use Piktochart to input lists, graphs, labels, tables,
and highlight subheadings, as they read to gain a better understanding of the material.
Visualization.- Students should be encouraged to visually picture images in their head as they read the
text, and visualize the importance behind challenges, banned, books, and censorship. Students will
complete activity called visualizing reading response. Students will tasked with completing a response
log that tells the teacher the title of the book, the author, the amount of minutes spent reading the book
outside of class and during the 1st
fifteen minutes of the class, the pages read, the pages and sentences on
pages where visualizing data was easily to interpret, the significance of the visualized sentences, and
demonstration of the sentences chose. For challenges and banned book, students will draw out pictures
that come in their head of reactions people have about reading books that should be challenged and
banned.
Summarizing- Students will summarize the material in both classes. Students will each write a
paragraph on what was learned in google docs or evernote. Students will also complete an infographic
using smore to summarize banned and challenged books, by answering and displaying information as to
where do most challenges of books take place, why books are challenged, and who initiates challenges
material, and the definitions of banned and challenged books.
Lesson Objectives:
Students will be able to identify how books are banned, discuss the reasons behind the action, and
examine the outcomes of speaking out against censorship.
Overview of the Lesson:
6
7. Ms. Deborah Hawkins, Literature teacher, and Mrs. Barbara Walker, History Teacher will
collaboratively work with the media specialist to come up with approaches to get students actively
involved in learning. Ms. Deborah Hawkins, Literature teacher will teach students about controversial
texts that shape why certain books are disliked. Books that will be examined are Their Eyes Were
Watching God, and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Mrs. Barbara Walker, History Teacher will discuss
with her class information such as the time era of the Harlem Renaissance, a movement in post-World
War I showcased in the book Their Eyes Were Watching God, and the anti-slavery message
demonstrated in the novel Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn. The media specialist, Ms. Hope Smalls will
meet with both classes and discuss any sensitive things and actions occurring in both time era’s and how
each matter appears to raise issues and concerns that can justify reasons for banning the books. Students
will be urged to use their knowledge of school standards that encourage students to read texts that
promote admiration for different cultures and establish knowledge of earlier American literature, to view
how texts from the same and different periods treat similar themes or topics. After doing so, students
will think about texts read in school that could possibly be banned or censored due to school
expectations for reading complexity and the growth of comprehension.
