It covers the Thuparamaya - Sri Lanka's first stupa - religious festival vocabulary, church and stupa architecture, true-or-false statements on observational drawing and cartooning, and matching a word to the right blank.

Questions come back in a different order every time, so it stays useful for repeated revision before a term test.
