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.
Getting Your Hands on the Books
We have one copy of all the books that are only available for participants in the Battle of the Books to check out from our library. The Jefferson County Public Library has multiple copies of books, eBooks, and audiobooks for the titles as well. If you feel compelled, feel free to purchase copies of the books from your favorite book source. If you would like to donate them to our Battle, I will keep them in the library for our battlers. If you'd like the books back after the battle, I would be happy to return them to you.
