Recent explorations in the media center: Tim and Blaise McMahon, world travelers from Bulgaria, Bangladesh, Germany and several other nations share of their experiences as a family traveling and living with an Ambassador to the American Embassy for Bangladesh to classes at Drexel Elementary Media Center with media coordinator Michelle Alexander and 4th and 5th grade classes while Skyping into via the Ipad to Mull Elementary Media Center with Media coordinator Debbie Childers.

    *The Missing Series - Book 1
  • Teams consist of no more than four members, grades 4 - 6.
  • Students may be from different classes.
  • One team member will be designated as the "Spokesperson" who will be responsible for reporting the team's answer.  The team may talk amongst themselves to come up with the answer.
  • Each team will be given 30 seconds to give the title of the book.  The timing starts as soon as the question is asked once.  The team may ask to have the question repeated but the clock will continue running.  After 30 seconds the scorekeeper will call "Time."  If the Spokesperson is giving an answer when "Time" is heard, she/he may finish the answer.
  • New questions will alternately be given to each team regardless of which team gave the last correct answer.  In other words, if team A is given a new question, team B will be given the next new question, even if team B just correctly answered a question that team A had just missed.
  • The title must be exact. 
  • The moderator's decision will be final in the case of any team answer, which may be questionable.
  • Battles will not be rescheduled due to student illness or vacations.
  • Substitutes for missing team members are not allowed 
Scoring

 

  • 2 points for a correct answer to a new question
  • 1 point for "stealing" an answer to a missed question
