[ISLMA-Share] Battle of the Books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi all—

I am new to the school library this year and would like to start a Battle of the Books program in my school. We are an odd age range (4th-8th grade).

What does your BOTB process look like? Do you use award books (Bluestem and Monarch are what I’m considering)? Do all of the kids read the same books? How do you keep track of teams?

Do you use a buzzer system? Any recommended technology that has worked well for the competition process?

Any and all words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!
Lauren

(Feel free to email me off of the listserv!)
