I was impressed with how engaged the students were with the program. They checked the bracket each week when they came to the Resource Center and there was some hardcore lobbying going on for favorites each week. We used Google Forms to expedite the entire process. QR Codes enabled students to quickly and easily access the forms. There was a little voter fraud by some of the older students who realized that they could submit multiple responses, but overall the students were honest and policed one another. Were I to do this tournament again, I would want to find a way to have students interact with the books more intimately prior to the beginning of the tournament. I could envision having students 'present' each book to the whole group via Flipgrid or another tool where they could highlight the book. Another approach might be to have a few of the books at several tables and have the students rotate through the stations taking turns reading through the books and making notes. Overall, the experience was beneficial and an awful lot of fun! I look forward to learning about how others are using these books to inspire interest and a love for reading in their libraries!
