Online Discussions

My Battle of the Books team had been working hard this year. I can't believe that I have several students who have almost read all the books. One issue I had the first few years is that many of the books are so similar. The coaches came together and came up with a plan to create online discussions for our kids. We have discussion boards with different themes they may find in the different books. Then our students go in and respond in the discussion boards with details of books that match that theme. They love using technology to communicate in this way and it allows them to compare and contrast the different books.
