 * Here's the information for those of you interested in participating in the Media contest. Good Luck! **

1. **Can the video actually be the kids telling about the books...sort of like a Reading Rainbow book talk type of thing ?** Yes, it can be a group or individual effort. Just look at the rubric for video for judging criteria. 2. **  Can I do the filming while they present or does the whole thing have to be student generated ? ** Keep in mind that this is a **media** competition and not a performance, skit, or play. The media project, however, may include live action that has performances and skits. As much as possible, it should be a student project. At all levels students will and should receive the assistance of an adult. This may include operating the camera.

Hello NTB Readers,

=
If you are reading this wiki, that means you have elected to participate in this school year's **N**ame **T**hat **B**ook contest. The contest dates are March 25 - April 1. Our exact date will be announced at a later time. In the meantime, you all should be reading the books that have been selected and, if applicable, voting for your best book (__note__: all NTB are **//not//** Bluebonnet books) and coloring books read on your map.======

I//__**mportant Announcement**__**__s__**//:

 * ======You cannot miss more than 2 meetings. If you miss 2 meetings, you will be asked to resign from the NTB competition. Three to six students make up a team with one official alternate who sits in the audience. There are eleven (11) of you. Everyone will __not__ be able to attend the competition. So if you are really serious, you must read, read, and read some more as well as attend the weekly meetings.======
 * ======To help you in retaining the readings you all will be required to create an Animoto video of each book. Instructions later. You must be present at **all** meetings to actively make progress and to practice.======
 * ======Below is a link to the official list of books that you are required to read as well as alternate titles. This list is also in your folder. Don't worry, we cannot read all the books at the same time. We will have assigned readings; however, there are some books you **all** must read.======
