__CREATING PRACTICE QUESTIONS __ Questions should be based on facts about the book; events, characters, etc. and the answer should be clear in the book. Also, provide the chapter or page number to identify the passages that answer the question. These questions will be used to help our team recall details and provide practice for the competition. All questions are to be posted under the Discussion tab for each individual book (see navigation menu on left). **See sample questions below:**

**Luna** by Julie Anne Peters Q. Why did Liam change his female name from Lia Marie to Luna? A. He felt Lia Marie was too close to his real name and that Luna was more appropriate because he was a girl who could only be seen by midnight (page 12).

**So Yesterday** by Scott Westerfeld Q. Where does Jen fit on the cool pyramid? A. Jen is an Innovator. (pgs. 3 & 197)

__BOOK DISCUSSIONS, COMMENTS, REVIEWS __ All Team Members are encouraged to initiate and participate in discussions about the Reading Olympics books by posting journal entries or notes on the book page (see navigation menu on left). Please share your opinions, comments and reviews about the books you've read. Also, be courteous to other Team Members who might have a differing view about a book or character than your own view.
