BATTLE OF THE GREAT BOOKS

The Battle is designed to encourage students to read classic literature and demonstrate comprehension of these novels.  Additionally, it provides students with an opportunity to work as a team and earn House points!

Each House will form 2 teams, one for grades 4-6 and one for grades 7-10.  Students who wish to compete on a team will be required to read seven books from their grade’s book list. 

During the school year, students will meet to discuss the novels and answer comprehension questions in preparation for the Battle.  The Grammar School teams will meet on Tuesdays and the Upper School  teams will meet on Thursdays during lunch.  The book assigned for each month should be read by the first meeting of the month.
