The following are some examples of questions asked in written and oral battles. Not all questions will fall into such precise categories.
1. "Name of important character or significant nickname of a minor character"
Helpful Hints
n Listen carefully to the question. Is it asking for the title of the book or the name of a character? Did the question ask for both a first and last name?
n There are 3 ways to answer a question about a Battle character.
o If the question asks for the first and last name, both have to be correct.
o If the question asks “Name the Battle character,” you need to give a name such as “Mr. Morales.” You may give both the first and last names, but both names need to be correct. Saying “the principal” rather than a name would not be correct.
o If the question asks “What Battle character” any identifying name or title would be acceptable.
n When giving a title, use the complete title as listed on our Battle Booklist, such as “The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.” Just saying “Charlotte Doyle” is not acceptable.
n We will not ask for more information if your answer is incomplete. However, be careful to not give so much information that part of your answer is wrong.
