Consequently, schools create separate shelves for ‘restricted books’ or expel certain books from their libraries altogether. Although schools believe they are protecting students, many books that involve mature topics or issues are not something students need protection from. In fact, mature books can help children learn about mature topics or issues in an interesting way. Also, children will be able to better communicate and speak about mature topics. Thirdly, children will feel like their experiences and problems are recognized when they read mature books. 22arveloa https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245521589 2018-03-23 15:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245521589 To begin, mature books help children learn about mature topics or issues in an interesting way. 22arveloa https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245522464 2018-03-23 15:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245522464 Secondly, children will be able to better communicate and speak about mature topics by reading mature stories. 22arveloa https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245524334 2018-03-23 15:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245524334 Lastly, books that regard mature issues make children feel like their experiences or problems are recognized. 22arveloa https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245524527 2018-03-23 15:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245524527 Have you considered including more of a counter argument in your introduction (adding more info about why schools think they are protecting students) 22arveloa https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245532530 2018-03-23 15:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/22arveloa/up9zretazj85/wish/245532530
