[CALIBK12] Golden Compass controversy

[Daydream Queen]

I know we've been discussing this topic lately and I wanted to share the
controversy with my students to promote discussiona and the book and movie,
of course. On our library bulletin board, we posted some articles on various
perspectives of the topic as well as the Golden Compass movie poster as well
as the Chronicles of Narnia movie poster (which looks strikingly similar!)
The title of the board is "What Do You Think?" Kids are encouraged to write
their thoughts on the topic on the bulletin board paper.
