Battle of the Books

DHES participates in Battle of the Books along with other CCSD schools

Students compete in a trivia style competition with questions about the SC Children's Book Award Nominees (chapter books)

4th and 5th grade students can sign up to participate

Students can have up to 5 people on a team. The team as a whole needs to read as many of the 20 as possible to have the best chance at being able to answer the questions. (If there is a team of 5, then they will all read 4 books)

August-October: Students will begin reading the SC Children's Book Nominees and deciding if they want to participate

November: Students will form a team and sign up with Ms. Wright

December: Students should have a plan of who will read what books in their group and finish reading their books over winter break

January: Take the written group competition (teammates can help each other answer multiple choice questions) during school

• Based on their scores, teams will be placed for the next round of competition, which will be a verbal round with buzzers for students. 

February: DHES will hold the school competition (with buzzers) with participating teams during school. Pairs of teams will battle each other until we have a DHES championship team.

March: The DHES winning team will represent our school at the district wide book battle (tentatively scheduled for March 1st)
