[LM_NET] Battle of the Books

[darlene price <dtp004@HOTMAIL.COM>]

We are just getting our feet wet with a school-wide competition called 
Battle of the books.  I have done some research on the Internet but don't 
want to get as involved with this, our first, go round.  We have picked 10 
novels  for the 4-5 and 20 picture books for the k-2.  Third graders get to 
choose which division they want to battle in--Jurnior or Senior.  We will be 
having our preliminary round within the confines of our Library Option class 
rotation.  The winning class team will move on to the grade-level 
competition the following week.  Our final Battle will be on March 2.  It 
will have a Junior and Senior division of one class per grade level i.e. 1-3 
and 3-5.  That is about as far as I have gotten.  I have a book from which 
we chose the books.  It has some questions but after the first round, won't 
the kids have heard all of the questions.  Am wondering if anyone has done 
this on a simple level.  If so, what suggestions do you have.  Where can I 
get additional questions for the novels and picture books we have chosen?  
Help!
