[ISLMA-Share] Bluestem Accountability

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I do the quiz "thing"!  I have a bank of 20-30 questions for each book and
usually ask 3-4 questions verbally.  Smart kids have figured out how to
pass on 4 questions to their friends and so they "trade" books they've
read.  My bank of questions means no one can really share answers!
