Animoto Video on Book Censorship and Bans

http://animoto.com/play/P1XQbk1ssKWZDqnLjm7fkw

I created a video using Animoto to gain student interest in the topics of censorship and book bans. I would like to show this video as an introduction and then hear student reactions to the images. This video aligns with Howard County Standard 6.0. Students will be able to demonstrate an appreciation of literature and multimedia as a reflection of human experience and the inquiry process for life-long learning. Specifically, I want students to be able to defend literature and multimedia choices and explain why intellectual freedom is important and how it can be preserved. Students are familiar with the Suzanne Collins series, The Hunger Games and J.K. Rowling’s books. They should be able to add personal experiences and perhaps spark a debate on the topic of censorship and challenged books.
