[ISLMA-Share] Battle of the Books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I do not use the Battle website etc.  I inherited sets of books with
questions 5 years ago, so I have used mostly those and added/swapped 2-3
books each year.  We do 3 classroom rounds and then the top classrooms
compete against each other.
I guess I choose my books from what I have a lot of copies of and any that
I come across that I think are really good.  I try to have several #1 books
in a series in hopes they will go on to read the rest of the series.  I
also do a book from the same author for all grade levels - ex.  *Honus and
Me* for 4th grade and *Jackie and Me* for 5th grade.

This year I did a Breakout EDU with my battle team revolving around the
books they read.
You can contact me byager at d23.org if you want more info.
