Banned Book Week Ideas

What are people doing for BBW?

Our high school would like to do a reading flash mob of some kind, details to TBD, but we want it slightly subversive and disruptive.

Has anyone done flash mobs in schools? If so, any suggestions, especially the logistical kind are welcome!

At my high school we put up a large bulletin board display with pictures and lists of challenged or banned books.

We also started Monday morning with a week long reading of openning lines from banned books during the morning announcements. I also printed out stickers for students who want them. Last week our reading club had a great discussion about censorship and Banned Books Week.

I have attached the document or "script" the students are using for the morning announcements.
