Battle of the Books!
Battle of the Books!
This term we will be having a BATTLE OF THE BOOKS within our own class. You have until June 12th to read as many of the 11 books in our classroom as you can!
You do not have to read all of them, but do as many as you can and coordinate with your team members so all books are read.
As you read, take some basic notes so you remember what the book is about. We will also be writing questions for our books that will be used as part of the competition.
Each question will begin with, “In what book would you find…..” or, “In what book does….” with the answers always being a specific book title that you have to guess as a team. The questions should not be ones you can find the answer to by just reading the back book cover. We are looking for more depth than that! We will be talking together about asking deeper questions about our reading to help. The questions will show your reading comprehension, and this activity is part of our LA Reading marks for the term.
On June 12th, teams will sit together and answer questions about the books. We will have several rounds over a few days, and the team with the highest number of correct answers wins!
Books can be taken home to finish reading, but PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THEM! They are checked out in your name and the same rules apply as checking out a library book from Suncrest. Thank you.
Always see Ms. D to check in your book before taking another to sign out.
