Medieval Lit Jeopardy
Ok, the coast is clear. Students who might see this are in Algebra. :)
Jeopardy today and the final on Thursday! And I’ve set personal records! The final was written and printed and copied a week and a half before the test date, and da da DUM the Jeopardy questions were written BEFORE the day of Jeopardy! Several hours before the day of Jeopardy! I wasn’t finishing filling in the blanks on the way to class! It’s incredible.
So, anyone wanting to take a shot at Medieval Lit Jeopardy?

I flunk this one! Hope Brendan does a whole lot better than his mother. :D
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of my favoritest stories ever! But I have no idea what the nickname for the author is…what is it?
Mom: Yes, Brendan is a Lit Jeopardy star. :)
Brad: Yay! The poet’s nickname is “The Pearl Poet” after a devotional/gospel poem/story he wrote called…yes, “The Pearl.” :)
One of my class’s favorite quotes was from SGGK, after Sir Gawain finally stumbled after multiple days of womanly wiles. He begins by using multiple biblical and historical examples of the deceit of women bringing great men down, then concludes, “So love them well, and believe them not.”
