Celebrate your right to read!
This is one of my favorite activities to do with 5th graders. Every year, we observe the American Library Association's Banned Book Week. I pull books that have been challenged or banned and put them together and let the kids try to figure out what they have in common with each other, but NOT with the rest of the books in the library. Then we talk about rights, responsibilities, and censorship issues.
