It is Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl time! Last year, ANCS Middle Campus competed for the second time in this state-wide Jeopardy-like quiz competition for super readers. Preparation is intense, but 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:
- Sign up in the media center with Ms. Linahan
- Must read 10 out of the 20 books by Nov 3, 2014
- Must submit a 10 trivia questions for each of the 10 books you read by Ms. Linahan by Nov 3. (Written or shared via Google Drive)
- Attend meetings 1x per week with Ms. Linahan and other team members for practice. This will begin in November. Practice days TBD.
- 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: TBD (probably late January 2015)
- Regional: TBD
- Divisional: TBD
- The team consists of 5 players and up to 5 alternates.
- Final order of the team is determined by attendance, trivia knowledge and sportsmanship.
- 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.
