Battle+of+the+Books

= =

Mountain Ridge Middle School is excited to participate in the 2015 Battle of the Books (BoB)! We will be competing against the following middle schools in our district: Cresthill, Castle Rock, Sierra, Rocky Heights, Cimarron, Mesa and Sagewood. The purpose of a Battle of the Books is to encourage reading through a little friendly, quick action, competition. Teams of five students (with one alternate) compete against each other in a quiz-bowl type competition. All questions begin with “In which book…” Students will create the questions for the battle as they are reading the books. Competition will be double elimination tournament brackets.   Click on book below for brief synopsis of that title.
