Questions?  Contact Mrs. López

1. Make a team with 4-6 friends.

2. Register to participate here. (If you want to join and need help finding a team, you can indicate that on the form)

3. Try to read as many of the 12 books as you can. The more books read by all members, the stronger your team will be. However, you may also choose to assign books to members of the team in order to make sure that all books are read by at least one or two team members. This Team Planning Document might help.

4. Take notes on what you read.

The final battle will be on Tuesday, May 19 in the library.
