Grades 11: Assembly - Quiz Bowl Club

February 20, 2023

On the morning of February 16, Grade 11 teachers and students attended the assembly in the Xianmian Annex. This assembly was hosted by Lynn, while Adeline, Jake and others from the Quiz Bowl Club made a speech about the club.

The members from Quiz Bowl Club introduced that the club tested the students' comprehensive ability to master multi-disciplinary knowledge in the form of buzzer based answering and gave examples of competitions that the club participated in, such as History Bee & Bowl and Science Bee, which further tested students' special knowledge. Subsequently, Adeline introduced the specific mode of buzzer-based answering.

In the competition, after the host reads out the question, the two teams will have the opportunity to press the buzzer. If no correct answer appears, the host will read the hints one by one. The hints are formulated from obscurity to common sense, and the team who gets the answer first will be given points. In order to further show the competition mechanism, the members put out some sample questions for the 11th grade students and held a mini competition on the spot.The students reacted enthusiastically and participated actively. A dozen different answers were reported by the students almost at the same time and were rejected one by one. With the appearance of each hint, the tension of this mini competition reached another level. Finally, in face of unexpected yet reasonable answers such as "tree" and "The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor", people burst into further interest in the Quiz Bowl community and signed up to join.

The 15-minute meeting time quietly passed and with a pleasant mood, the students plunged into a new day of study.
