OREGON BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

3rd, 4th, and 5th graders

Please visit this website for more information  - http://www.oasl.info/OBOB/

Mrs. McIntyre is currently looking for parent volunteers to help run this year's battles.

Needed: parent coaches, scorekeeper, judge, moderator, and more!

Please call me if interested in helping with our local school battle!!

NOVEMBER 13, 2009 ***Don't stress about teams yet! I am just NOW organizing students into teams. Students have the option of forming teams on their own and I am also helping students form teams. If your student is interested in OBOB please have them come talk to me. I am currently meeting with classrooms and students. There will be some shifting of team members as some students decide they don't want to do the program and some students will want to join in later. THE MAIN THING RIGHT NOW IS TO READ THE BOOKS!

The library is open each morning break for students to come book talk with other students. Teams do not have to meet outside of the school day, because we are all busy after school and on weekends. Also, if a team can't find a parent coach, I am willing to serve as the coach for several teams. My goal is to make this program available to all 3-5th grade students who want to participate. Remember this is just for fun and to encourage kids to read different genres.

All participants are winners and will receive an invitation to the

Ice Cream Celebration in June.

 

Overview

The Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) is a statewide program for reading motivation and comprehension sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Librarians in conjunction with a Library Services and Technology Act grant. Students are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. The goals are to encourage reading for enjoyment, broaden reading interests, increase reading comprehension, and promote cooperative learning.

 Lists of books are chosen and questions are written for elementary and middle schools. Students read the books, discuss them, and quiz each other on the contents. Then students compete in teams of four to correctly answer questions based on the books in a "quiz show" format. Half of the questions begin with the words "In which book..." so that the answer will be a title and author. The other questions are based on content and require a specific answer from the book. Teams compete at local, district, regional, and state levels.

New lists of recommended titles for each level are compiled each year by the OBOB selection committee, which is made up of library staff and teachers. Titles are varied according to genre and difficulty so that readers may encounter a broad range of books.
