Would you use it as part of your instruction? Why or why not? What problems would it present? What benefits would it offer?
Write and post a detailed reflection about the book and the issue of censorship. Be sure to include the information your read from the web sites to support your reflection; think about how you might handle a censorship question raised in your classroom.
