What Is The Battle Of The Books Club?
WCPSS decided not to enroll in the NC Battle Of The Books program, so there will be no competition this year. The Trojan Olympiad student executive board members thought it was a good idea to give those whom wished to compete in the competition, a chance to do so. The Trojan Olympiad Battle of The Books club is no different than the afterschool club.
How To Sign Up...
1. There is a google form sign up sheet
2. Each student has to pay $10 to be in the club: It covers the Battle of the Books questions and the zoom meeting fees. 3. Any students may sign up yet on the form to the right by November 25th. This is a NEW FORM, so be sure to fill it in with the times you plan to attend the club. 4. There will be an introduction session information provided to you for attending the first large club where we will explain to all club members what we are doing. We hope to have break out rooms and have everyone have a chance to meet their club privately there to decide the first book they will read, select a name, and show demonstrate what a sample session looks like! 5. Attend the first club date specified by your facilitator in an email to you. The facilitator will send you information via your provided email in the sign up genius during the week of November 15th stating your start date and first book. Your first task is to pick your first book of 4 to read and vote on a club name. 6. Start reading the first book - see the schedule at the right hand side. Attend regular meetings. Ask all questions you have of your facilitators via email! 7. Sign up for teams the week of January 17th to January 22nd. 8. First team practice will begin at the end of January to the beginning of February. 9. Competition will be announced in April. |
