I don’t think I’m good for any of them without having to look it up.
I am sure once I do the names will be familiar, but right off the top of my head I got nothing.

Discworld readers should be able to do the horseman, including the fifth one, the one who left the group before they became famous.

does William Morris count as a pre raphaelite?

Yes. that counts.
The first fleet questions pisses me off. I know I have learnt them by rote albeit 50 something years ago.
Hmmm… looked it up, Shelley is not considered to be among the Lake Poets.
So I’ll give myself 7/12

You too had to memorize the first 20? I remember walking around the block and chanting that.

I don’t think I was ever required to memorise names of first fleeter ships.
party_pants said:

No, I don’t remember having to do that either. I only remember doing an assignment on Darkie Gardiner, the bushranger, for history at high school. And one on “The Search for a Staple”. We didn’t have computers and word processors in the 1970s. It was all done by hand. And you drew your own pictures too. I’ve still got those in an old suitcase out in the back room. Occasionally I go back and read some of the things I wrote. Some of them aren’t bad, actually.

We had a weekly tables competition in Grade 5. Yes, you had to memorize stuff. For some things it’s a good idea for them to be automatic in your brain.

I use a ‘blackboard race’ game to consolidate DRSABCD. The adults absolutely love it.

And sending away for free stuff to put in projects. And picking out what colour cardboard it would go on. (I’ve got a bit of my favourite keepers from school. I have every journal from Uni. I have a burden of uni. )

I remember doing lots of stuff in 1979 about WA history and first fleet stuff, because that year was the 150th anniversary of the founding of the colony. Did very little on the first fleet to land in Sydney until 1988 which was hailed as the Australian bicentennial at the time. Most of my knowledge of Australian history comes from my own readings on the topic outside of school.

But a while back I posted a drawing of Sydney Cove and the position of all the ships at anchor and the first scratchings of a settlement denoted.

Interesting that we both went for White and Doherty. I suppose they are fairly obvious choices.
