Part: 1

1
00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:08.800
Gibbs High School. We have the mighty Gladiatrices. Hopefully >> Gladiatores. Thank you. Duneden High School. The talented Falcons. I like that. Palm Harbor University High School, junior JIM junior gym. Um St.

2
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:24.800
Petersburg High School, the PHS Green Devils, and Lakewood High School, we have uh the Literary Legion/Darth Lakewood. So, welcome to all teams. Our host for today's district battle is Melissa Donley. Miss Donley is the

3
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:45.280
library media technology specialist at Bardmore Elementary School. She's also the president of the Penelis Association of Library Media Specialist and a Florida Power Library School recipient. So, welcome to Miss Donley. >> All right. Hello and welcome to all the

4
00:02:45.280 --> 00:03:02.319
teams, sponsors, and families. I'm Miss Donley, and I'm excited to be here today as your host. I have a few things to go over before we get started. First, have fun today. You have worked hard to be here, and while we can there can only be one winner, we want all of your teams to

5
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:17.519
have fun. Students, you should have a copy of the books to in front of you to use, and you're also permitted to use a dictionary if you brought one. Next, for each question, I will read the question and all the answer choices before your

6
00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:33.840
team can select an answer. Once the timer starts, you will have 60 seconds to answer. Don't rush. The teams who take their time to answer correctly the first time get the most points. Each question is worth a maximum of 100

7
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:51.200
points. Teams get three chances to answer the question correctly. Each incorrect answer or guess reduces the number of points that can be earned. So first attempt is 100. Second is 50. Third is 25 points.

8
00:03:51.200 --> 00:04:08.159
If the correct answer is not selected before the time expires, the third guess is incorrect. Um, zero points will be awarded to your team for that question. There are 20 questions in today's battle and each team will get the opportunity to defend the correct

9
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:25.440
answer four times by citing textual evidence to earn bonus points. I will let each team know when they will be asked to defend with the textual evidence. When you are providing your textual evidence, please make sure to say the page number where the evidence

10
00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:42.000
was located and where the location is on the page like top, middle, bottom. The direct quote from the text which shows the evidence of the correct answer. Usually this is only one or two sentences. To give you example, hold on.

11
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:59.759
Sorry. To give you an example, please turn to page 171 of 12th night. Let's pretend that the correct evidence for this question lives on this page. I would provide the evidence by stating

12
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:16.479
at the bottom of page 171. It says, "So he I guess he really takes this whole identities thing very seriously." That's it. You don't need to elaborate or explain why the evidence is correct. Make sure to pick the best evidence to support your answer.

13
00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:36.080
There is only one correct piece of evidence for each question. Incorrect defenses do not subtract points. Each correct defense will earn 25 points for the team providing the evidence. All right, so that's it. Um, let's get

14
00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:51.039
this game started and good luck to all the teams. >> Okay, the code. Okay. So, when the game code comes up, don't put it in yet or go ahead and type it in, but don't hit connect. We want to go one, two, three, four, five to have you guys in order.

15
00:05:51.039 --> 00:06:14.120
So, Gibbs, go ahead and connect. And Deden, once you see Gibbs pop up, you guys can connect. Perfect. We got Gibbs and we got Dun Eden and now Palm Harbor. Go ahead

16
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:44.880
and go ahead St. Pete and Lakewood. Perfect. All right, so let's get the game started and good luck to all of the teams. Ready, set.

17
00:06:44.880 --> 00:07:00.400
>> All right. The first team to do the textual evidence will be Gibbs High School. >> In chapter 47 of another First Chance, how did River mostly feel when he admitted to spray painting the billboard? Thankful, indifferent,

18
00:07:00.400 --> 00:08:44.560
relieved, or unrepentant? All right, the correct answer is relieved. All right, Gibbs High School, you have a few seconds or about 15 seconds to come up with a defense textual evidence. Okay,

19
00:08:44.560 --> 00:09:26.240
sounds good. Thank you. All right. Question two will be done Eden High School doing the evidence. Question two. In chapter 47 of Another First Chance, what tone does the author mostly set during River's hospital

20
00:09:26.240 --> 00:10:27.440
scene? Is it comedic and light-hearted, tense and consoling, detached and clinical, or sarcastic and mocking? And the answer is tense and consoling. All right. Studied in high school. You

21
00:10:27.440 --> 00:11:02.640
are finding the text evidence. page 349 in the middle section. Don't worry, River, it's Mavis. Just relax. We're all here, babe. and our voice says. Unfortunately, we were looking for the

22
00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:17.680
middle of 351 where it says things started to get hazy, but this time it's warm, even comforting instead of scary on that that page. All right, so moving on to question three. This will be Palm Harbor

23
00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:39.760
University High School. In chapter 48 of Another First Chance, why does River mostly avoid the adults conversation about suing Affinity at the Meyers's one? He fears admitting his own role in the billboard incident. He doesn't not

24
00:11:39.760 --> 00:12:56.880
he does not believe the lawsuit could succeed. He wants to savor the final moments with friends. Or he is uninterested in legal matters and trusts his parents. All right, it was three. He wants to savor his final moments with friends.

25
00:12:56.880 --> 00:13:21.680
All right, Palm Harbor High or University High School on page 354 in >> in the middle. But right now, it's the last thing I want to be thinking about. So, I pretend like I didn't hear what they're talking about, exchange hugs,

26
00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:38.360
and dip out before I can hear more about my mom's plan to sue North Meadow for everything she's worth. All right. Excellent. All right. Question four is going to be St. Petersburg High School.

27
00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:57.120
Which of these could you most conclude about River's understanding of memory and grief in chapter 48 of Another First Chance? He believes memories must be preserved. He needs to erase all traces of Dylan to

28
00:13:57.120 --> 00:15:05.279
move on. He thinks forgetting Dylan would mean betraying him. He recognizes that memory will fade and shift. All right. St. Pete High School. >> Okay. Um, we believe it's on page 353, um, middle section. But that's okay

29
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:20.959
because I know he'll always be with me in some way, no matter what. Because even if my brain fails to remember, his chapter and my story has already been written just like I've already been written into his. And those stories are stories are here to say.

30
00:15:20.959 --> 00:15:40.240
>> All right, great job. All right, the next four questions are going to be about kill factor. And we will have Lakewood High School going for the textual evidence. Question five. In The Kill Factor, how

31
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:56.320
does Emerson's physical condition during the escape most directly heighten the tension of chapter 45? It forces Tiger to assume leadership. It mirrors her psychological exhaustion and uncertainty. It limits her ability to

32
00:15:56.320 --> 00:17:12.679
understand Ktor's plan. It prevents the drone from assisting them. All right, the correct answer was number two. It mirrors her psychological exhaustion and uncertainty. All right, we have uh Lakewood High School up.

33
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:54.400
uh at the end of the page on page 354, Emerson rolled over and the pain erupted inside her all over again as if the arrows had been fired into her once more. Her muscles were stiff and cold. Her joints were aching, but it wasn't over yet. All right, great job.

34
00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:19.919
All right, question six. In chapter 45 of Kill Factor, the bridge of the cruise ship most strongly symbolizes which of the following? A temporary illusion of safety, the transition from captivity to agency, the

35
00:18:19.919 --> 00:20:23.880
government's ongoing surveillance or technological dominance. All right, the correct answer was the transition from captivity to agency. Gibbs High School, you're up for Texas Evidence. 300 yard away from where is it?

36
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:41.840
Is that on? Okay. There was a vast or page 356. Um, right about in the middle, it says, "There was a vast nothingness before them, a place where the wave stopped and a void began. It could only be the edge

37
00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:58.320
of the dome." >> We were actually looking for on the middle of 355. The lights came on around the ship. Screens came to life. The activation of the bridge marks a shift from passive survival to active control symbolizing reclaimed agency.

38
00:20:58.320 --> 00:21:20.559
Good try. All right, question seven. And this will be Deneden. In chapter 47 of Kill Factor, why does Emerson believe she deserves legal punishment despite escaping the kill factor? She wants public accountability.

39
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:56.000
She accepts responsibility for her actions. She distrusts the justice system. She fears future retaliation. All right, we all knew that one. Top of page 363. Emerson nodded. The truth was she was

40
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:22.880
glad she would serve time for the death of Marvin Sue. Yes, it had been Cody who lit the fire, but she had turned the gas on. She had wanted the school to burn. >> All right, excellent job. All right, question eight will be Palm Harbor. Question eight. In chapters 45 and 47 of

41
00:22:22.880 --> 00:23:42.000
The Kill Factor, how do the spectators watching the escape and the reporters outside the hospital mostly compare? They are similar. They are identical. They are different. They are opposite. All right, the answer is they are

42
00:23:42.000 --> 00:24:14.960
opposite. All right, Palm Harbor, you can find evidence in either chapter. on page 361 in the on the top. A thousand reporters were cramped outside the hospital desperate to get a quote or a

43
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:33.919
photograph of the two girls who had survived and escaped the island. >> All right, great job. Ready or not? >> All right, the next questions are going to be on ready or not.

44
00:24:33.919 --> 00:24:49.520
So for question nine, it will be St. Petersburg High School. All right. In Ready or Not, Cass is at work while her friends are not replying to her texts. What does the setting of the diner mostly signify? The diner

45
00:24:49.520 --> 00:25:05.039
symbolizes her life is already planned out for her. The diner symbolizes that she is not moving forward like her friends. The diner symbolizes simpler times in Cass's life when she didn't have a to plan time with her friends. Or

46
00:25:05.039 --> 00:26:21.240
the diner symbolizes her carefree high school days are over. All right. The answer was the diner symbolizes she is not moving forward like her friends. Uh St. St. Pete High School, you're up for the text evidence.

47
00:26:29.520 --> 00:26:45.120
Um, I think it's on page 294, uh, in the middle when she says, "I'm just stuck here by myself and they're all going to have these great new lives with new, cooler friends and never want to talk to me again." We're actually

48
00:26:45.120 --> 00:27:05.360
looking for on 288. This is it forever. No future, just this. All right. All right. Chapter 10 will be Lakewood High School. In Ready or Not, Nico has dated various

49
00:27:05.360 --> 00:27:51.120
girls, but always treated Cass like a friend. What prevented Nico from acting on his feelings? Naive, shallowess, fear, uncertainty. All right, it's fear.

50
00:27:51.120 --> 00:28:06.000
All right, Lakewood High School, you're up for evidence. >> On the bottom of 306, I was terrified of ruining things. Our friendships, making things weird. >> All right, good job.

51
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:28.960
All right, question 11 is going to be Gibbs High School background. In Ready or Not, when the group meets to hear Cass out, what common theme emerges between the friends? The friends are all unprepared for this next chapter. The

52
00:28:28.960 --> 00:29:39.919
friends are all ready to move forward with their friendship. The friends are all dealing with something they aren't sharing. The friends have all tried are all tired of Cass's insecurities. All right, the friends are all dealing with something they aren't sharing.

53
00:29:39.919 --> 00:31:29.200
All right, Gibbs High School. All right. Is it on page 323 at the top when she says, "I just want us to know we can always come back here, whoever we are, and or become, and have each other when we need

54
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:44.240
it. No expectations, no pressure, just friends. >> We were actually looking for on 3:15 through 3:18, we see Cass explain she felt like everyone was already pulling away. Marcy admits that she feels others

55
00:31:44.240 --> 00:32:01.200
want her to be a certain way. While she wants u to not be with Marcy anymore, um Aaron admits that he hasn't been exactly open. And Nico admitted on page 305 that he was in love with Cass. So, all right, our final question in

56
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:23.279
Ready or Not. In Ready or Not, Cass has picked out gifts for each of her friends to send them off with. What do these gifts best symbolize? A momento to remember her by, their best qualities, a goal Cass thinks

57
00:32:23.279 --> 00:33:19.600
they should try to reach, or Cass's hope for their future? All right. Their best qualities. All right. We've got Duned in High School for text evidence. in the bottom panels of 320 to 321.

58
00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:38.320
One of the examples being you are and always have been a star. I never want to steal your shine. Just soak it in. >> All right. Great job. >> All right. Our next questions will be about 12th Night. and we'll have Palm Harbor back up for

59
00:33:38.320 --> 00:33:57.919
text evidence. All right. Based on what we read in chapter 15 of 12th Night, which of the following best explains how Vi's actions fundamentally undermined Bash's sense of self and agency? Bash feels used by Vi.

60
00:33:57.919 --> 00:34:45.720
Bash feels he's unimportant to Vi. Bash feels involved because of Vi or Bash feels unloved because of Vi. All right. It is that he feels used by Vi. All right. Palm Harbor

61
00:34:46.000 --> 00:35:01.280
on in the middle of page 266. But this Bash swings his hands to reference the 12th night stage as if he suddenly remembered the more pressing issue of me and my tyrannical schemes. This is using me Vi. You're just using

62
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:23.839
me and I. All right, great job. All right, St. Pete High, you'll be up next. Question 14. In chapter 15 of 12th Night, Vi admits that she does care, that she has been lying to Jack. What

63
00:35:23.839 --> 00:35:40.800
can we mostly infer about this admission? That Vi does not think she is a good person, that Vi is frustrated with the situation, how how the situation has unfolded the way that it has, that Vi thinks she is justified in her actions, or that Vi is glad that she

64
00:35:40.800 --> 00:37:22.560
will be done with Jack. All right. That VI does not think she is a good person. All right. St. Pete High School The truth. Uh, page 262. The truth is

65
00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:50.400
that yes, contrary to how it might appear, I do care that I'm lying to Jack. I care a lot, more than I expected. I know he's going to be angry because I would be, too. >> All right. Great job. All right. Chapter. In chapter 16 of 12th Night, Jack organized the

66
00:37:50.400 --> 00:38:07.880
tournament by marking video games, marketing video games to guys and a movie to the girls. Which concept best describes Jack's approach? Implicit bias, stereotypes, tokenism, or intersectionality.

67
00:38:37.040 --> 00:38:53.839
All right, it's stereotypes. Okay, Lakewood High School, you're up for text evidence. >> On the bottom of page 276, there is going to be a movie after this. A girl movie, I promise. since we are starting off with this rowdy tournament photo of testosterone.

68
00:38:53.839 --> 00:39:16.400
>> All right, good job. All right, chapter 16 will be back to Gibbs. All right, in chapter 17 17 of 12th Night, Vi agrees to reveal her authentic self to Jack. How does Vi's choice of

69
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:33.480
language reveal Vi's opinion of herself? She is in tune with how outsiders view her. She does not see herself as others do. She does not care how she is seen by others. She blames others for her negative qualities.

70
00:40:32.480 --> 00:42:55.680
All right. She does not see herself as others do. All right. Gives high school euro. What am I saying? All right. On page 294, she says, "Wait, right here." "Okay," she said.

71
00:42:55.680 --> 00:43:15.200
And even though I know she didn't really believe me, it meant a lot that she was willing to try. "Well, get ready," she said with a grimace, "because it's going to be gross." "All right, very good." All right. Now, the next questions are going to be about star spplitter.

72
00:43:15.200 --> 00:43:35.040
and we'll have Dunan on. Based on the text of chapters 31, Star Spplitter, the retelling of what happened during the ship's final moments primarily serves to shift the story from survival to guilt to redemption, to

73
00:43:35.040 --> 00:44:30.160
resolve all unanswered scientific questions, to eliminate the need for the dual timeline, or introduce a new antagonist. All right, it is the shift this shift the story from survival to guilt to redemption.

74
00:44:30.160 --> 00:44:58.400
All right, done eating. in the middle of page 297. I don't know what happened to my ship, she said, head bowed so I so low I could barely see it over her shoulders. I don't know what your mother did. I don't know what part you played in her scheme. At this point, I don't care. I only know

75
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:12.960
that someone needs to contact Ista to give them the names of the broken so they can be reestablished. I have decided that someone will be you. All right, we're actually looking for on the bottom of page 293. They thought they had a lifeboat, but I had sabotaged it

76
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:37.520
with my the micro drive in my pocket. All right, the next one is Palm Harbor University. At the end of chapter 31 of Stars spplitter, the captain's decision to have Jessica go in the printer was mostly the res a result of loyalty to

77
00:45:37.520 --> 00:46:48.839
her crew, a promise to keep her safe, having no other options, wanting to get revenge on Jessica. All right. It was loyalty to her crew. All right, Palm Harbor, when you're ready.

78
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:33.760
on in the middle of page 290. Designated emergency crew members will report to your stations. Everyone else, secure yourselves where you are and report your status to the belfry. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, responders will come to you. I repeat,

79
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:49.200
this is a code red. Stick to your protocols and we'll get through it. Captain Sharp out. >> We're actually looking for 297 through 298. I'm not leaving my engineer to fly this ship without his captain. This is because I am not leaving my liazison

80
00:47:49.200 --> 00:48:11.280
alone holding the broken body of someone very important to her. All right. Chapter 19 will be St. Pete High School. At the end of chapter 31 of Star of Stars spplitter. For Jessica, the cobalt

81
00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:27.880
mostly symbolizes hope for reunification with her parents. Both the cheerful past and the painfulness of the present. Memories of a lost childhood or a favorite pastime with her parents.

82
00:49:19.040 --> 00:49:48.480
All right. Both the cheerful past and the painfulness of the present. All right. St. Petersburg High School, you're up. on the top of page 299. She says, "I grabbed that game piece tight in my hand, and I imagined myself

83
00:49:48.480 --> 00:50:03.760
before my parents had ever left. My hair still wet from my bath, sitting in my pajamas, begging for just one more game of Magical Mountain. But then another memory invaded my thoughts. >> All right, good job. >> All right, and our final question will

84
00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:27.200
be Lakewood High School. Question 20. Jessica's final interaction with Jim Kelly at the end of chapter 32 of of Stars spplitter reveals that Jim Kelly doesn't know how to help her. That she hasn't changed much since their

85
00:50:27.200 --> 00:51:40.480
first interaction. She never trusted Jim Kelly and or she trusted Jim Kelly all along. All right. She trusted Jim Kelly all along. >> All right. Lakewood High School. >> Do I have to hold it down?

86
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:57.200
>> Oh. Um, on page 304 in the middle it says, "It's strange to think that I did things out there in space that I can't remember because I never really did them, but a version of me did, and I wonder what that means for me."

87
00:51:57.200 --> 00:52:19.200
