User blog:Owenandheatherfan/Read About - Week One

Welcome, students, to year one of Read About!

In Read About, contestants will be split up into seven teams of two and will be required to read a certain number of chapters of a certain story I assign. After the deadline, the competitors will take a quiz, the questions being based off of the story that week. I will then find the average between the two scores, and that will be their total for the week. The partnership with the best score will earn a prize that will help them later on in the game, but the team with the worst score will be on the chopping block.

In the comments below, the other users will vote for who they would like to see gone. Once they hit that send button, they will not be able to change their vote. Then, the student with the most votes will be voted out of Read About forever. No returns. No debuts. No cheesecake.

Below, you will see the eight teams of two. For week one, I am assigning the first four chapters of Total Drama: Boney Island. When you are ready to take your quiz, please come onto the wiki chat and private message me. The deadline for this is Saturday, November 17, 2012. If you have not taken your quiz by that time, then you have one strike against you. Three strikes, and you will automatically be eliminated from Read About; no exceptions. The first quiz will consist on ten questions, plus a bonus that will add a certain number of points to your final score.
 * Red Team : BrunoSomebody and COKEMAN11
 * Blue Team : Manatee12 and FireFlameVG
 * Green Team : Toadgamer80 and Mister.. E.
 * Yellow Team : EnTrey and 1dra7
 * Orange Team : Nduke and Aimers
 * Purple Team : TDALindsayfan1 and Fyrexx
 * Pink Team : LightningandDakotaFan6 and BadAsp
 * Brown Team : Jaxswim and Mrdaimion

This time on Read About, in order to encourage feedback, if you leave a comment that is at least ten sentences on the talk-page of the story that week, you will earn bonus points. Depending on your comment, the bonus points range from one point to five. And in certain cases, one point may be the difference from life and death.

Be sure to thoroughly read the rules, because breaking them will result in consequences, examples being a zero for the week or being removed from the game.
