[aisle] Virtual Battle of the Books

[Betsy Yager]

I did it last March. It went very well.  I used Google Meet and did 3
rounds of battle in each class. For round 1 I asked 10 "In Which Book"
questions for each team.  They could chat about the answers but the captain
had to be the one to say the final answer.  For the next 2 rounds I used a
Jeopardy board and rotated through the teams allowing them to pick
questions from the books.
The final Battle was the winning team from each class.  I used 8 "In Which
Book Questions" and then Buzzin.live. for the remaining questions which was
fun for them.   There should be a webinar recording of a Zoom presentation
that several of us did about doing online Battle of the Books on the AISLE
website.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
