Banned Books and Censorship

South Mountain Community College

Module Overview

Module I:
The course is broken up into 3 modules. The first module, worth 30% of your grade, will include reading D.H. Lawrence's novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover. The novel was written in 1928 and was his last major novel. He died in 1930. Lady Chatterley's Lover has been published in three different versions and was widely challenged and wasn't even published in England until 1960
due to its explicit sex scenes
. We will learn more about Lawrence and the novel in this first module. Other module requirements include blog posts on readings and discussion forum post for group discussions. Important information for this module is listed below:

Module II: Module two is also worth 30% of your grade and is a group project. In groups of 2-3, students will choose a novel, author or theme(s) to explore. The project must include reading a novel or collection of stories or poems by an author. Groups will will responsible for conducting their own group discussions and will create a "project" to share with the rest of the class. Projects can be online presentations or can be video taped lived (by Dr. Cooper) to be played online. All presentations must be public and stand alone.

Module III: This final module is a final individual project that is left up to the student to decide what he/she wants it to be. This module is worth 40% of the grade and will require weekly blog posts on the progress of the project and a final project to be presented during Banned Books Week in the fall.
