Welcome to our 2023-24 Battle of the Books at ECE
The 2024 Battle of the Books has launched! 30 JeffCo schools are participating this year. In the Battle groups of three students read 10 books, then compete in a quiz-bowl game in which the questions begin with "In which book..." or "In the book..." Our Elk Creek team will meet weekly to prepare to battle.
Our In-School Battle will take place on Thursday, February 22.
District Level Battle will be Thursday, March 7.

Meetings
This is our Meeting Schedule for the year. Our first meeting is a pizza lunch in the library on Thursday, October 13 from 11:40 am to 12:20 pm.
Participants agree to read a minimum of five of the ten books.
Getting Your Hands on the Books
I applied for a grant this year to receive multiple copies of each book. So students should have ample access to the titles this year. But there are eBooks and audiobook available from the Jefferson County Public Library as well.
Notes
Notes
Students have been given a Composition Notebook for their notes. Here is how to organize your notes:
Page One: Table of Contents
List all the Titles and Authors of the book leaving space to add page numbers later.
Next Page: First Book Characters
Title with the first book you are reading. Then Characters.
Next Page: Major Events (for first book)
List the major events throughout the book
Next Page: Chapter Summaries
For some books that might just be Beginning Middle End for others a one or two sentence summary will do.
