[LM_NET] Battle of the books

[Jennifer Cifrodella <jcifrodella@CHATHAM-NJ.ORG>]

Colleagues:  
We have participated in a version of NJ's "Battle of the Books" where children read 
10-15 of the same novels and then answer questions in small groups.  My principal 
is looking for a variation of this "reading incentive" program which would NOT ask 
lower level questions about the literature.  I do
not know if anything exists.  Today we use prepared Battle questions which are 
recall questions beginning with "In what book..."
If you have any ideas on how to change this program or are using a higher level 
thinking book competition, can you let me know? I work with third graders.  Thank 
you.
