in spanish, for a project we have to make a game to play with the class.

it has to go over different topics we've learned.

so the questions or topics covered in the game might go over:

food, colors, don quixote, clothing, etc.

people already did jepeordy, that pyramid game, and pictionary.

I guess I'm stupid and "blind to literature" (if that even makes any sense).

Do that game where there are cards. One person picks one up and looks at it and can't show it to anyone. On the card is written a word. He has to try to get his team to guess the word. But underneath that word is a list of words he can't say. Forgot the name of the game.

You don't know who Don Quixote was either?

Lamesauce, the education system is failing us.

No I don't. It might have something to do with my taking 6 years of french though.

Isn't it considered the first novel?

We watched an adaptation in Spanish II, and I read parts in a Barnes and Noble's once.

Don Quixote is pretty famous ie. you don't need to be learning spanish to look at it. It's pretty classic in regards to literature.

Don Durito is cooler though

Not knowing some spanish book/author is no indication of how much you have read. Curriculums around the country are different. Would you people (that are mocking me) ever have known of this author if you didn't learn about it in school? No you wouldn't have. I doubt any of you even read on your free time. I, on the other hand, read in my spare time, so I don't need some 14 year old kid mocking my intelligence.

don quixote is barely even read in english literature classes anyway.. i dont know why anyone was flaming you for not knowing him.

he's famous in spanish literature, i mean worldwide its a famous novel, but still i dont know about everyone famous novel and what they're about.

fine how's this flash LCD, tell me what The Art of War is about.


and one reason don quixote is a famous novel is because its the most printed book of all time, next to the bible.

Well than in your free time read "Don Quixote" and then read "Conversations With Don Durito: The Story of Durito and the Defeat of Neo-Liberalism"
by Subcomandante Marcos de la EZLN

NYY dice, "ay no! No quiero leer libros como esos"

Comrade dice, "Que no? porque piensas ser conservativo y te gusta 'neo-liberalismo'... Tu probablamente no sabes que es neo-liberalismo"

pinche gabachos....

How to kill your enemies efficiently, to put it simply. I've never read it, but I know vague information about it at least.

No one would want to read Don Quixote, it's about twice the length of Atlas Shrugged and is very repetitive; I've only read excerpts. It's internationally and globally known though, I don't think it has to do with what region you're learning in.

NYY, don't take it as an insult. I was merely commenting upon the fact that most people who are well traveled in literature will know that Miguel de Cervantes paved the way for modern book writing as we know it by writing Don Quixote.

For the record, I'm not 14, and I read plenty in my free time.

just because someone reads doesn't mean they read every famous novel in history.

my older brother probably reads more than like everyone on this forum combined, but nothing of what he reads is even famous literature.

Well, I've never read it myself, but it's hard not to know who Don Quixote was. It's parrodied, referrenced, and re-enacted in a lot of TV shows, and it's even used as an adjetive a lot in print (IE "such and such politician's quixotic approach to such and such hot-button issue is a blatant afront to blah blah blah blah").

But... I can't say I've ever thought someone was stupid for NOT reading it... From what I've heard about the book itself, I can't blame anyone for glossing over it. Or, say, reading a newspaper instead.

Game ideas... hm.. You could always do a family feud sort of thing. Well, at least, the thought of Al Boreland (whatever his name actually is) dubbed over in spannish makes me giggle.

Or if you wanted to do something more, I dunno, fun? I dunno if your school would let you bring in a few of those suction-cup dart guns, but if you can: Maybe have all the answers on a marker board and the player from each team has to listen to the question, and then be the first to shoot the answer (written in spannish of course) on the board. Each turn, the players on both teams rotate out so everyone gets a shot or more. Make some targets smaller and worth more points.

Yeah, it sounds a little gay, but it's a good excuse to play with dart guns instead of just taking turns answering questions. *shrug* take it or leave it.
