Literature and Language and Challenge - Zoom (Summer term) (LIT 47(z))

  • Day and time: Tuesday 12:30 - 13:30
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 1 term. Summer (8 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 16
  • Start date: 22 April 2025
  • Description:

    Test your knowledge of English literature and language informally and in the comfort of your own home. These quizzes are intended for friendly rivalry rather than fierce competition. Topics encompass adult and children’s fiction, the alphabet, etymology, grammar, poetry, plays, quotations, slogans, spelling, word games – even nursery rhymes. In recent years stately homes in fiction and Yiddish vocabulary have been tackle. Some quizzes will be emailed in advance, others will be issued in class, and a few will be topics for discussion rather than quizzes. Most will be new to U3AC; any reused ones won’t have been aired for at least three years. They will be broadly the same as those in the in-person class (but not necessarily in the same week). Cheating by looking up the answers online as you go will spoil the fun.

  • Format: Course or activity without teaching

  • Leader: Jenny Knight
  • I enjoy devising quizzes for U3AC and other local organisations. A long career in publishing makes literature and language my favourite subjects.
