Hi all--
A friend and I were brainstorming, and so I am going to ask you all if =
you think it would be worthwhile. I was talking about needing help to =
create the Battle of the Book questions for my schools, and that another =
school wasn't going to do it because she didn't have the time to create =
the questions. And we thought that there might be other schools were =
they would like to do Battle of the Books, but can't afford the Battle =
of the Book company prices, or do not have the time to create their own. =
We were wondering if we put it in a database type program if anyone =
would be interested in purchasing it?
Would you purchase Battle of the Book questions on a CD disk that were =
already created for you? We are looking into how to search up and print =
off the questions that you would be interested in. We would create 2 =
types of questions. The first would be the "In what book did..." type-- =
hopefully a minimum of 30 questions per book. The second would be "What =
was the setting.." or "Who helped John...." type questions--hoepfully =
about 30 also. (I know that not all use just one style of question.) =
We are hoping that we could get it started for next year.
We would be selecting books that are in these categories first: =
#1)Newbery (all) #2) State Award Books #3)Recommended books from best =
selling lists. And would be updated with new titles.
If this was created and ready for your use, would you be interested??? =20
If we targeted the price inital price in the $50 range? or the $35 =
range? would you be interested?
If we targeted the additional years' updated list at $15, would you be =
interested?
If you could request titles to be added?
Would you be interested in putting any questions that you have already =
created onto this for others to use? (I am including my 3 year's of =
questions--so at least there would be a start.)
Anything else that I have missed?
Thank you for your indulgence in this request. You know how it is when =
a librarian and a veteran teacher get to brainstorming ideas.
