Battle of the Books (BOTB) is back for our students in Division 1 as part of their Language Arts program as well as a friendly reading competition between schools.

Students have been divided up into 3 teams and each team is responsible to read all 10 books, from a variety of genres. Some students may read 1 or 2 books and others may read all 10 books. Students are responsible for creating questions for the “battles” in which the students will work together to answer the questions. Questions can be submitted in one of 2 ways: on paper (available at school) or through a form online (links below).

We will have 3 or 4 practice battles throughout April and at the end of our practice battles, a team of up to 10 students will represent Glenwood in our district’s annual interschool battle. This year, due to COVID limitations, for the first time we are holding the final battle over Zoom. Fingers crossed all the technology works!

The 10 books in this year’s battle are:

Dez and Jax are both in the sixth grade. Now they can be Sky Watchers, kids who patrol the sky path to school on their sky bikes. The Sky Watchers protect their schoolmates from spinners, little flat disks that have been programmed to steal bike packs and take them to the ground below. Nobody but the gang kids go below the tree line. ItÂ’s polluted down there.
