1. By monday, you need a signed letter by your parents giving permission for you to read a banned book. This book can be of any choice, if it has been banned or challenged in the recent history. No one can read the same book as anyone else, so whoever turns in the permission form first gets permission to read the book.
If you want to know what kind of books are challenged or banned go to The American Library Association: Banned books.
IMPORTANT- FOR FUTURE NOTICE, THE BOOK YOU SELECT MUST HAVE A DOCUMENT OR PROOF THAT IT HAS BEEN BANNED OR CHALLENGED. Check with Ms. Smith if you have any more questions.
A big project over the book you choose is due in a month. Create a movie trailer about your book using short snippets.

information/benefits in the best creative way to garner the desired
response.
What Makes a
Movie Trailer? (think of a movie trailer as a tease)
(Mention Product) The name of the
movie (book)- this often appears at the end of the trailer.
(Info/Benefits) Plot points or cool prestige elements such as
the director’s or actors’ names. Be careful not to give away whole story.
(Creative) Exciting editing,
clever copy, memorable scenes or dialogue, compelling music. Most important to
storyboard out idea. Think about using
catch phrases (powerful quotes), use imagery (taste, touch, see, hear, smell),
LESS IS MORE
(Desired Response) TICKET SALES!
Money? Get people to read your book?

How Does That
Work With a Book Instead of a Movie?
Add the words “How do I” to the
beginning of the Golden Rule.
Example: Green Eggs and Ham
Also look at actual movie trailers to come up with ideas.
Banned- Strictly prohibited from being taught or being found in a school library
Challenged- Strongly not recommended to be taught, but can be found in a school library.
