March means Madness! Coinciding with the college basketball tournament, my class has a novel tournament each year. They brainstorm their favorite all-time novels and narrow it down to sixteen titles. Then the fun begins! They pair off and write a persuasive argument to convince their classmates to vote for their novel. Each week, half the remaining novels are voted out until a winner is crowned. Come along on our adventure this year!
This year’s matchups:
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher vs. Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
Flora & Ulysses by Kate DiCamillo vs. Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling vs. Holes by Louis Sachar
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan vs. The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland vs. Eragon by Christopher Paolini
Wonder by R.J. Palacio vs. The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green vs. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan vs. Pie by Sarah Weeks
