Golden Archer Award
The 2016 winning Golden Archer Award winners are:
Primary: The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak
Intermediate: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul by Jeff Kinney
Middle/Jr. High School: Sisters by Raina Telgemeier
I am excited to have the elementary students (grades K-5) in our district participate in nominating, reading, and voting for the Golden Archer Award. With this, let's work together to encourage students to nominate their favorite picture books for the Primary level and chapter books for the Intermediate level. As explained on the WEMTA Golden Archer Awards website there are three learning level categories, specific criteria for students to consider to nominate books and nominating procedures as indicated below. I would like to see each of the elementary schools nominate five (5) books. Students will share their favorite titles with the media assistant in your building by Friday, April 29, 2016 so I can send in the nominations over the weekend. Please contact me via email if you have any questions.
CATEGORIES
Primary: Students in kindergarten and early grades
Intermediate: Students in upper elementary grades
Middle/Junior High: Students in upper grades, middle school, or junior high school
CRITERIA
Books must be...
- recognized as noteworthy and of special interest to students.
- now in print and readily available.
- published within the last five (5) years.
- individual book titles, not series names.
