I promise you folks...we did not keep the award winners in the closet!! Every book you read won a reward or was given high praise by people who claim to know better. What does it tell you?
It tells you if you are not reading books for the students in your class you can't depend on award winners to provide.
It tells you opinions and attitudes around books vary greatly...just like your kids do.
It tells you that you should maybe read some of the early Smackdown exiters to find the book you might cherish for the zombie pick.
Not all blogs are in but all results are and the quarter-finals have the following matchups in Jeopardy question form:
1. What is a Crossover Gabi?
2. What is a Crazy Nest?
3. What are Only Family?
4. What are Living Secrets?
Check the updated draw if you can't figure it out from there. Teams for the quarter-final draws will be emailed to participants today. Now get out there and Smack!
We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!
