How Well Do You Know the Ignorant Historian?
Posted in Dusting the Historian's Library on 03/02/2010 12:37 am by RonnicaSince I want to be a “real” teacher someday, I thought this might be fun. Besides, who doesn’t like a pop quiz?
So, the name of the game is: What do you know about me? The answers to all the following questions can be found on the blog (and looking for them is NOT cheating). Simply leave your answers (no matter how wild the guesses) in a comment on this post. I’ll hold all comments for moderation so you won’t be able to see each other’s answers.
The winner gets any used book of her (or his) choice that I can order off Paperback Swap. Sorry so small, but we’re on a budget here. I’ll accept answers until midnight on the east coast tomorrow (Wednesday). Because of the nature of the prize, the prize winner will have to have a US mailing address (and cannot be related to me), but everyone is welcome to play.
Now that all the fine print is spelled out, let’s get to our quiz, why don’t we? Each question’s answer is worth one point.
1. What’s my brother’s name? Bonus: what’s my sister-in-law’s name? (for an extra half a point)
2. What state did I grow up in?
3. Where did I go to college?
4. What did I major in?
5. What was I scared of as a child? (may be more than one correct answer)
6. What’s one experience of Southern culture that left me scratching my head? (again, there’s more than one correct answer)
7. What classic science fiction movie have I used more than once to explain life truths to children?
8. What’s the working title of my essentially-abandoned novel-in-progress?
9. What country (besides my own) do I love?
10. If/when I become a full-time teacher, what subject would I teach? (I’ll give a point for either the subject I’m most qualified to teach or the one I’d most want to teach…and 1.5 points for correctly answering both.)
Hope it’s not too hard!
