Attending lunch meetings (1 pt. ea.)
Writing practice test questions about each book (1. pt. ea.)
- Maximum of 10 pts. earned per book but students may write as many questions as they like (the better-prepared we are, the better we’ll do at the competition!)
- All questions MUST be turned in no later than March 18th.
- After March 18th, we will hold “mock” competitions (hopefully using clickers/buzzers) where members will be able to earn points based on correct answers.
THE TOP FIVE POINT EARNERS WILL BE SELECTED TO REPRESENT THE SCHOOL IN THE COMPETITION.
(One to three alternates will also be invited to attend and/or compete.)
COMPETITION IS ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28TH @ COLUMBUS ACADEMY.
