In order to compete in the Battle of the Books, students must read at least 5 of the books and write 10 quality questions for each book they read based on the content of story. Students become "experts" on the 5 books they read and participate in the competition on a team of 4-6 students, who are "experts" on their 5 books. *The competition is set up like a quiz show. Teams are given a question that begins with the phrase, "In which book...", which must be answered with both the correct title and author of the book to which the question refers. Correct answers earn 5 points for the title and 5 points for the author. There are 24 questions for each round of competition, with each team answering 12 questions. If a team gives an incorrect answer, the other team has the opportunity to answer the question and can "steal" the points with a correct answer. In the case of a tie score at the end of 24 question, the competition continues with a tie breaker round .
