[AISLE-Share] Battle of the Books

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I have a school-wide battle using only the 20 Caudills, grades 6-8.

Team of 4 or less must read all 20 books as team to qualify. I have a
google form they complete after reading each book. They also must attend
2-3 lunch battle meetings, where I check in with their team progress.

Teams who qualify vote for their top 5 favorite Caudills.  I take the
students top 5 and my top 5 and then use those 10 for the actual battle.

We have  3 grade level battles, a school champion battle, and a Champion vs
Teachers battle on battle day, along with a pizza party midday for lunch.

It's crazy good fun!
