High School Reading Competition Team Coach
Fall 2020 Competition
We are looking forward to participating in the VIRTUAL Fall High School Reading Competition to be held on - Tuesday, November ??, 2020. Sign ups will be held mid-September upon return from Summer Break for the Fall team!
Team Member Requirements & Information:
1. Each team member MUST read 5 - 7 books (or more) in the Fall, re-read/review those books closer to the competition date, and review the printed quizzes/summaries!
2. We will meet to periodically review who read what and plan to cover all our bases in September, October, and November.
3. We will then meet prior to the competition to practice and to determine spokespersons in November.
Our Berlin HS Reading Competition Team members continue to represent BBSD well and enjoy meeting students from other area school districts participating in this event! Despite the competition and stress of questions being "fired" at them about 30 books, the students rise to the challenge and have a great time!
Are you ready to have a good time reading? YES?! Then join our ranks for the Fall Reading Competition!
Here is what you need to do:
*Sign up in the Learning Hub (HS Library).
In the back room in the HS Library:
*Take the book listing.
*Choose book(s) to read, sign your name by it on charts up on back of shelf across from the back room door, and then sign it out of the Library.
(The ideal is to have 2 to 3 people reading each book, so that one person doesn't have to remember EVERYTHING!)
*READ, remember what you read, and ENJOY!
(I am not requiring you to take notes or write questions, but if those kinds of things help you to remember, don't hesitate!)
*You can touch base with Mrs. Fabyanic (@ 8:05 - 8:20 a.m.) in her room any morning.
(E014 - Elementary Building, 3rd/4th grade hallway, pass the gym and elevator, down the steps, and I am the third room on the left side!)
I would love to see YOU on our fantastic BBHS Reading Competition Team!
