Wednesday's Question is a "Lightning Round"
Give yourself 30 seconds - can you identify the author of each of these works? Highlight the text after "Answer:" for the answers!
My bookshelf, PART I: Given the title, tell the author.
The Prince and The Pauper
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Franny and Zooey
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
The Sea-Wolf and Other Stories
Homage to Catalonia
Cyrano de Bergerac
A Farewell to Arms
Wind in the Willows
The Stranger
Answer from Tuesday:
Sammy Davis Jr. sang the theme song to Baretta, "Keep Your Eye on The Sparrow." Nobody knows what that means. Nobody cares cause it's Sammy and he was a great singer.

I put the answers into the post itself. 7/10 isn't bad for a math teacher!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate that sense that you KNOW the author of Wind in the Willows because you just read it with your kid?
7/10 is like a 90 on a New York State exam. Had it been matching, I would have gotten at least 8, might have flipped the ??s
ReplyDeleteI knew that wasn't going to go well when I looked at Cat On A Hot Tin Roof and "Tennessee" came to mind, but the only things I could think after that were "Ernie Ford" and "Tuxedo".
ReplyDeleteStay Tuned for more tomorrow and Friday - scheduled posting at 10am.
ReplyDeleteBetter check out the bookcase one more time.
