Some of your favorite movies and television shows are derived from popular fiction works.
With that in mind, think about your favorite movie, your favorite tv show, and consider this: if we could only enjoy two genres of fictional programming until the end of time, which two should be cultivated?
In the teams, each individual chooses their favorite two genres (think about the books you've read and loved, and ponder WHY you loved them, then think about the book's genre category). But wait! You may want to persuade a team member to change their answer and select a genre that you value more.
Teams will:
Describe their top two genre selections to their teams, providing at least one book title as an example.
The designated scribe will write down everyone’s selections and determine the top selections from the team.
All team members must agree with the final two choices - remember, people can persuade team members to select different genres before submitting the final selections to this Google Form, especially if there aren’t clear 1st and 2nd place genre selections.
We will be respectful of team member’s choices, and be respectful during debate to select the team’s top two choices.
