Elementary Battle of the Books Vienna ES

Elementary Battle of the Books (EBOB) What is it?  A book competition developed by NCSLMA (NC School Library Media Assoc.)  Students read 5 books and become ‘experts’ on their books in order to compete in quiz bowl atmosphere

How?  Interested students need to commit to read 5 books (from the EBOB list) and be ‘experts’ on their books  Once a student commits to our team, they need to come to as many practices as they can! If students miss more than 25% of practices, they are at risk of forfeiture.

When?  Students will practice with EBOB teammates during lunch and after school (all EBOB students)  Most practices will be during lunchtime (led by Mrs. C-O). Once/twice per month after school (w/ other EBOB coaches and Mrs. C-O).  Vienna students will be grouped into teams of 6 to compete informally within the school  We will organize some head-to-head competitions between the Vienna teams, just to practice.  12 ‘all stars’ to compete at a district level will be selected by all coaches is based on knowledge, confidence, enthusiasm, and commitment.

Who?  For avid readers (or aspiring avid readers!)  4 th and 5 th graders only  Committed students  Teams will be made up of 6 students  We will have as many Vienna ‘teams’ as committed students warrant  All students willing to participate/commit are welcome to join the team
