Two lessons comprise the "Intellectual Rights and Responsibilities: Banned Books and Censorship" series designed for high schoolers. In the first lesson, students read articles about the pros and cons of “Trigger Warnings” and then state their position on this censorship controversy. The second lesson asks students to select a book that is frequently banned, investigate the controversies surrounding it, and then craft an essay that argues whether or not the book should be banned.
