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!

We Begin...And We Should.
This marks the 9th edition of the Mighty Smackdown. We have over 80 educators reading and thinking about books. Of course we know that reading builds empathy and it feels like the climate around us could use a little bit of empathy and humanity about now. I hope this opportunity of reading, thinking, arguing and writing helps us model and show a path to our students of thoughtful discourse. The brackets have been set...the reading has started. First deadline is November 27th. We invite all of you to read and argue thoughtfully with us!
