Student tips for writing BOB questions:
1. Begin every question with "In which book".
2. Include a question that is specific to the book and can be answered by looking at a specific page in the book.
3. Include the page number number from the book where the answer can be found for each question.
4. Ensure that the questions do not give too many clues (avoid using names of characters, places, titles, etc.).
5. Do not include questions about content that is too specific or not really important.
