    Textbooks for HSC Ancient History

    HTA Ancient history study guide!!! (if you do modern it's fantastic as well.) if you dont have the "cities of vesuvius" text for pompeii and herculaneum it's really in depth... the excel books are pretty dodgy for most topics I've looked at, they're quite patchy.... Cambridge dotpoints is...

    Looking for some answers as I move into year 11

    I do modern and ancient and I'd definitely recommend modern, but I suppose it is a personal choice of what interests you more. Teachers for history aren't extremely important, although it does effect your enjoyment of the subject, you can teach yourself for modern if need be. For French...

    Writing a bibliography

    Hello everyone! For modern, (and ancient:dog:) I have to do a 1500 word bibliography and speech. I'm fine with writing the speech, but I've never really written a bibliography before. I would like to know the conventions of a historical bibliography, some important ideas/things to...

    Subject Choices

    Hello my friend! I do English Advanced, French (continuers), SOR2, Ancient and Modern (as well bio) I thought our subjects are so similar I had to comment! Also I'm intending on doing History Extension next year, but I think the best thing is to just wait to see how you feel at the end of prelim...

    Compulsory Studies Of Religion

    I go to a Catholic school where SOR 1, 2 or Catholic Studies are compulsary. Personally, I have no problem with doing SOR2 - in fact, I love it. I'm not a religious person, but I find it fascinating and informative and very relevant to the real world. As to whether it should be compulsary - I'm...

    How to not hate English?

    Thanks for all your opinions guys.... I think it might just be the module that I don't like because I actually really do like Shakespeare.(not doing that at the moment though) I'll try and learn to love it I guess :)

    How to not hate English?

    My classmates and I groan and complain in unison whenever English appears on our timetable. In short; my teacher's a bore, (as dull as a doorknob), the subject seems irrelevant and marking appears random, I feel like there are better ways to spend my time than to be lectured about some obscure...

    How can I improve my note-taking?

    For Modern, I write down as many key points as I can while the teacher is speaking. Then I usually compare them with the person next to me for any mistakes or important things I've missed. Then I go home and rewrite the really important stuff that is directly related to the dotpoints neatly in a...
