[aisle] Virtual Battle of the Books

[Kathy Garneau]

We ran one last June by Zoom! It worked! It was actually a lot of fun. We
used breakout rooms with 4 students and a teacher. We gave around 5 minutes
in the breakout where the teacher asked about 10 questions with 30 seconds
to answer. We only need the full 30 seconds for the books they didn't
recognize, so we never ran out of time, most books took 5-10 seconds to
answer. The 4 kids would give their best answer and the teacher would keep
score. After 5 minutes we went back to the main room and the teachers gave
the scores for the teams. We kept repeating this for a good 30-45 minutes.
It was so much fun! The teachers had matching sets of questions and we just
went in order down the list. If we finished early we ended our room and
returned and waited for the others and talked about how we did, what we
forgot and what we got right.
