MID: Battle of the Books

[Meg Schimmels <MSchimmels@USD259.NET>]

Are there any middle schools out there that participate in a Battle of the
Books program? We have a district-wide program in place for elementary
schools, but are thinking of expanding to involve our middle schools. We
know how to run a BOTB program, but are wondering if there some special
tips, considerations, etc. that we should be aware of before we expand to
the middle school level. Do you involved all grades? Should we start with
sixth grade for the first year? Do you have the support of your language
arts teachers? Anything you can think of to share with us, we would
appreciate.
