This idea’s been coming together very slowly. It’s an endeavor that I really think will help me learn what I need for Jeopardy!: Reading the works that became films nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay Oscars, then watching those films.
I first had the idea when I realized I like to just do something fun on Saturday nights (something that doesn’t feel like “studying”). This would all be studying disguised as an adventure and a challenge. I don’t watch a lot of movies (another reason to do this), but that can be a treat when I want to relax. I also have been reading more, and I felt overwhelmed by how much there is to read that I might both enjoy and learn something from. This will give me focus, and it would help me learn about everything that might be on Jeopardy!: History. Music. Geography. Of course literature. Not to mention the Oscars themselves.
At first I just thought of doing it on my own; then I thought, “My sister might be interested.” Then my mom. Then my uncle. Now my dad. I’m going to invite all of ’em, and you guys, too. Would you join me? Don’t worry; we can take our time. I thought my trip to Germany next month would be a perfect time to start reading/keep going.
So I’d love your feedback, including whether you think this would be a worthwhile way to study for Jeopardy!
Speaking of going to Germany, that trip coincides with the beginning of the next season. But never fear. I have a guest-blogger lined up who is going to be great. More on that soon.
