The purpose of the Battle of the Books is to promote a love for books and to encourage reading through a friendly, quick action, competition.
Students form teams of 3-5 members and work together to compete against other teams at RHMS for bragging rights and the opportunity to represent RHMS at the district battle.
If you want to participate but don't know anyone to form a team with.....Register anyway, Mrs. Tempel will help you find a team.
Battle teams can consist of different teams (Blazers, Explorers, etc.) and/or grade levels.
There are NO before or after school time commitments. Read as little or as much as you want. Lunchtime team practices will begin in April.
The quiz-bowl type format of the competition has teams answering questions about this year's 10 battle titles. Most questions begin with, "In which book..." or require specific details to be remembered from the book.
Ask Mrs. Tempel for more information.
