2nd Place!

Avon Lake placed 2nd in the first Academic Challenge, moving on to the finals on December 6th!  Now that we have our first game completed we can better prepare!  Be sure to, not only read our book, but write questions as you read and reread.  Watch the student CNN videos, use the links on the right-hand side of this website, and practice!  Don't put it off!

• Read The Hero Two Doors Down and write questions.  Quiz yourself.
• Think about your performance from the first game.  What can you do better?  What can you practice NOW to play better at our next game?
• Attend our Tuesday/Thursday practice sessions.
• Create Quizlet stacks of quiz questions and share them with your teammates.
