It is Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl time! Last year, ANCS Middle Campus competed for the first time in this Jeopardy-like quiz competition for super readers. Preparation is intense, yet fun, and the competition is VERY EXCITING!! I would like to extend the invitation to our students to participate in this state-wide event. Here are the details:
- Participate by Reading Club option or Competitive Team option
- Reading Club members may attend practice but will not participate in the Bowl. Competitive Team members must adhere to these requirements:
- Sign up in the media center with Ms. Linahan
- Must read 10 out of the 20 books (on which the competition is based) by Nov 1, 2013
- Must submit a summary of each of those 10 books (characters, plot, etc.) to Ms. Linahan by Nov 1, 2013.
- Attend meetings 1x per week with Ms. Linahan and other team members for practice. This will begin in November.
- Commit to becoming an expert on several assigned books and helping create the trivia questions.
- Commit to attending competition dates. Note to parents: set aside 2 - 5 hours depending on the level of competition we attend:
- Local: Saturday, Jan 25, 2014
- Regional: Saturday, Feb 1, 2014
- Divisional: Saturday, Feb 22, 2014
- No more than 10 students are allowed on the team.
- If more than 10 students sign up, team members will be determined by an elimination quiz.
- All team members will participate in the competition by an equal rotation process.
- You may purchase your own books, borrow from the local library, or use the copies in the media center.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
