What is Battle of the Books - Reboot?
The Battle of the Books - Reboot is a reading motivation program that aims to encourage and recognize Secondary students who enjoy reading and provide them with an opportunity to broaden their reading interests, and to continue on
with Battle of the Books from elementary school.
A list of books is chosen by a committee of teachers and teacher librarians. Students are provided with the list; they read the books, and then discuss them. As school teams, they create a book trailer, and design a bookmark to be used for the next
year’s battle. Another activity teams complete in advance is the Trashion Show. Teams sew or make a clothing item that is determined by the committee each year and is related to one of the books. On the day of the competition, students participate
in a design challenge, display their previously designed items (The trailers, bookmarks, and Trashion Show), and participate in rounds of questions in the style of Jeopardy.
What is the History of Battle of the Books - Reboot?
The Battle of the Books - Reboot was inspired by the elementary school model that is popular in SD No. 73. It was devised in 2018 by a group of secondary teacher-librarians including Aleasha Kachel, Cecile McVittie, Dianne Bell, Kristy
Dolha, and Trisha Rimmer, with the support of district coordinators Andrea Wallin and Tricia Persad. The concept was to extend Battle of the Books into the secondary grades in a way that met the needs of teens. In selecting books, the committee
is committed to providing quality books with Canadian, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+ content and diverse protagonists, in multiple formats such as graphic novel, and in a range of genres.
The first Battle of the Books - Reboot was held at South Kamloops Secondary in June of 2019 with four schools participating. Our hope is to expand to include all of the high schools in the district. As well, we hope to expand into
senior grades at some point in the future.
