The author takes the experience of book challenges as an opportunity for positive curricular changes by walking readers through the development of a formalized procedure for selecting new, diverse texts to add to the English Language Arts (ELA) program curriculum. The text-selection committee arrived at a six-step method: (1) Identify Desired Goals; (2) Identify potential titles; (3) Read the books; (4) Evaluate potential titles; (5) Think about instructional considerations; and (6) Finalize title selection. While the new process hasn't silenced criticism, it has made it easier to defend the titles.
