How it Works
Throughout the school year, students will have opportunities to earn points by:
Attending meetings (1 pt. ea.)
Writing practice test questions about each book (1. pt. ea.)
Taking Accelerated Reader tests on each book (1 – 10 pts. ea.)
Participating in simulated competitions (???? pts.)
Attending meetings (1 pt. ea.)
- Held during lunch and/or after school
Writing practice test questions about each book (1. pt. ea.)
- Maximum of 5 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!)
- 2 BONUS POINTS will be given for questions turned in during the month assigned books are read. For example, if Tiger's Curse is assigned for December and a student turns in at least 5 questions for Tiger's Curse in December, that student will earn 7 points. But, if a student turns in 5 questions for Tiger's Curse in January, then only 5 points will be earned.
- All questions MUST be turned in no later than a month BEFORE the competition (dates TBD)
Taking Accelerated Reader tests on each book (1 – 10 pts. ea.)
- Tests must be taken in the library during study halls or meetings.
Participating in simulated competitions (???? pts.)
- Once we get closer to the competition date in the spring, we will hold “mock” competitions 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.
