PLAN+-+Book+Battle

Here is a space for those that are interested in participating in a Book-Battle*-style program...
//*This is based on a "Book Battle" concept, but in a language other than English. The title for the event will depend on the language in which it will be conducted.// //*This effort is not affiliated in any way with [|America's Battle of the Books.]//

There is already significant interest in continuing a **Spanish language "Torneo de Libros"** so we have created a table (below) for schools to sign up to participate. Please sign up here if you plan to participate and make suggestions for the book titles you would like to see included. We will work with you to finalize the list and purchase the books before summer vacation. **The format of the “//torneo//” that is currently being implemented: **
 * 1) Schools agree upon a shared reading list of books in Spanish
 * 2) Schools implement a program of independent reading and after-school literature sessions over the course of the school year in which students (4th-6th are currently doing this, let's think about adding 7-8th grades, and possibly 9th-12th) read and respond to books from the book list
 * 3) Students generate (quiz show-style) questions based on all the books on the book list
 * 4) Schools participate in a culminating event in which students participate in competitive rounds based on the selected books

If you would like to propose a "battle" in another language, please create another table on this page so that people can indicate their interest. If there are enough people to create a new battle then we work to coordinate planning for this.
