Super Lit Quiz Bowl will be February 15, 16, and 17 this year. Take a moment to reflect on your favorite SLQB title that you have read in 2011.
Examples could be writing about your personal connection to a character, a favorite moment in the book and why, or you could give us some interesting facts that you learned from reading the book. The choice is yours. We'd love to hear your literary reviews!

Sir Walter Raleigh...Answer and Justify:
Raleigh was locked in the Tower for disloyal behavior to the Queen. Can you use this blog comment post to tell the reader exactly why Raleigh was locked in the Tower AND the efforts he put forth in order to be released? Justify your answer with support and details from the book and our discussion.
Sir Walter Raleigh...Sequence and Order:
In today's media class, we read about and discussed Sir Walter Raleigh's explorations of the New World.
Can you take us from beginning to end of Raleigh's explorations of the east coast of what is now the United States. In other words, using this blog comment, can you list and sequence Raleigh's efforts to colonize parts of Virginia and North Carolina?

Sir Walter Raleigh...Compare and Connect:
In this media class, we read about and discussed Sir Walter Raleigh's 'relationship' with the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth I.
What IS the relationship between those two people? Was anything implied or inferred in the book or in our discussion about the two? Or, recalling specific examples from the book, describe their relationship to someone who has little knowledge of these two.

Sir Walter Raleigh...Identify and Examine:
Today in media class, we covered the introduction of the book Sir Walter Raleigh by nonfiction author, Tanya Larkin, as well as read pages 1 and 2 of the biography. Remember, since this is a Super Lit Quiz Bowl book, we want to pay particularly close attention to the details surrounding the life of Raleigh. Let's help each other think about:
What is the key information, main facts, and most relevant information that you could retell to someone who did NOT read this book with us today? What knowledge (from pages 1 and 2) could YOU share with others about Raleigh? In short, tell us what was memorable to you!
