Summary: The article entitled "Censorship and book banning in America” starts off by giving you an example of a book that was not censored. It goes onto tell how the book made people mad and complain about it for not being censored. It then continues on to tell about books being banned from schools all over the world. It then gives you advice on picking out a book for a class to read.
Assess: This article was written by Melissa Kelly. Although, it does not say why or for what purpose she wrote it she is an ask.com guide.
Reflect: I was very impressed while reading this article at first when I would think about censorship in the classroom I would only think of on the computer and online. I never actually thought about a real book and how teachers would have to make sure that was appropriate for everyone to read.
