My Project

It brought me great joy to resurrect our Quiz Bowl team this year! Previously, it had been five years since we last had one. However, I quickly noticed that we severely lacked resources to ensure our students' success in practices, matches, and tournaments.

Despite facing economic challenges, leveraging trivia books can significantly aid my Quiz Bowl students in achieving success.

Trivia books offer an affordable and accessible resource that can level the playing field for students in Title I schools. By providing these books to my students, I can offer them a wealth of knowledge and information, fostering a culture of curiosity and learning. Encouraging students to explore trivia books not only expands their knowledge base, but also sharpens their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, essential for excelling in Quiz Bowl competitions. Moreover, utilizing trivia books allows students to self-direct their learning, empowering them to take ownership of their education and pursue areas of interest independently. Through targeted study and practice sessions with trivia books, students can build confidence, boost their academic performance, and compete on equal footing with their peers from more privileged backgrounds. Thus, integrating trivia books into my Quiz Bowl program serves as a potent tool for overcoming the barriers posed by poverty and unlocking the full potential of my students.
