BANNED!
If you were up early enough on 23rd November you
would have seen a rare sight in the LRC at Farnham: 14 students wide awake, on
their feet and enthusiastic! (I am talking 9am on a Monday morning…)
Here they are doing the Banned Books and Banned Films
quizzes:
We were well
supported by the English department who brought in 7 classes over the week, to
have a go at the quizzes and be astounded at some of the books that have been
banned. One of these classes decided to have a quiet reading session while they
were here:
We explained that as part of Equality and Diversity week we
wanted to promote freedom of speech.
The Banned Books quiz (57 entries) was won by Ben Porter,
who is planning to buy some Oscar Wilde books with his token. There were 52
entries for the Banned Films quiz and Emma Wiltshire enjoyed her prize of a tub
of chocolates!
Merrist Wood students showed great interest in the displays
in the LRC and the Banned Books particularly aroused much discussion.
Hugh Penrhyn-Lowe (11040113) BTEC L3 Ext Diploma Animal
Management student was the winner of the quiz.
At Guildford College Toby Harris St John won the prize for
the Banned Films.
