Ryan Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Well, I instead of taking Social Studies at my school I take a gt class (Gt: Gifted and Talented). Last February we took a 2 hour competiton test. You have a topic and go through 6 steps to make a feasable and humane action plan. Well 5 packets got sent to Austin, Texas (my state's capitol.) and one of them was my groups. They came back and 2 groups made the State Bowl including my team. We left to Austin last Friday and did the same thing only on a harder level. There were three divisons. Junior, Intermediate, and Senior. Junior was 4th grade through 6th (my team) Intermediate was Jr.High and Senior was High School, with about 50 to 100 groups in each division. Only two teams out of each divison would be able to go to International which is in Connecticut. My group made 2nd out of 60-70 teams in my divison! We get to go to Storrs, Conneticut (SMALL!) on June 6th. Our topic for the state bowl was Environmental Law and the topic for Internationals is Virtual Corporations! I can't wait to beat all the other teams when we leave!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
