What will practice be like?
Practices are held in a Battle of the Books google classroom. There may not be a county competition this year, but we will still be reading the books and discussing them. Teams will be created based on grade levels and each grade level will have a different day to meet each month. We may have a DDMS competition if there isn't a county competition.
Most meetings are spent practicing book based questions.
How does my child become a BOB Competition Team Member?
All students grades sixth through eighth are welcome to attend our after school club, read the books, and practice with us. However, only twelve students are allowed to compete during competitions. Usually between December and early January, the competition team is picked by the coaches. Students are chosen based on attendance, participation, number of questions written, and performance on a title/author quiz and a book quiz. After the team is chosen, only the competition team is required to attend practice. Students who do not make the team, but wish to still participate are welcome to come to the club meetings.
