Ah, I feel the same way. I wish we'd had our classes before school. Even you know, more than once a week. I just wish I'd done more. I'm definitely planning on viewing the nature and one debate and causes as the other. I'm doing imperialism and they're the most substantial chunks of the...

We've got four. We originally had about 20, but that was before the major project, the majority of which we were required to do before the end of March. It pretty much weeded out the people who couldn't think for themselves, write essays, or research. Well done, I say. The only thing is...

I think what Mellyjane means, on the topic of using the 'prescribed' textbooks, is that if you were to quote (Webb) or (Warren) on history it would be less reputable than the 'primary' writings of Carr, Herodotus or von Ranke. In the Marking Notes (available from the BOS next to the papers)...

Chi? :) As you can see I was desperate >.> I did consider comparing them in that relatively short "aims, origins and organisation" question, but I wasn't sure if it was blethering on a little. So do you think perhaps they'll throw us a new question? The impact on Athens and Sparta was a brand...

Just wondering where in exam questions the Peloponnesian League make up is necessary. Evidence from exams so far has only produced questions pertaining to personalities, the Battles, the Delian League, transformation/changing relationship of the League and the impact on Athens and Sparta. Any...

have a few summaries of the PL, but what I'm really confused about it how to use it? Do you use it in the elian League questions, or impacts on Sparta and Athens?

If you were to mosey on over to the recently updated CSSA trials thread, there's a comment from a marker & a reference to her senior marker saying that memorising quotes doesn't do anything except show that you can memorise quotes. The most important part of the answer is integrating the...

I was wondering if there's anywhere I can get practice HSC questions. Obviously, you're not allowed to post the actual test paper due to copyright (and the fact that public schools actually have to pay for them. Lame.). However, if anyone had any links to any practice questions, it would be...

I had someone come to my school and tell us that 6 hours is about a band 4/5, 6 - 8 hours is a band 5/6, and a Band 6 is around 9-10 hours. Any more than that, she said, with breaks and exercise and eating, is your entire day. Basically, I wake up at 7 and by 9 have everything done. I've done...

I find that I'm better at answering questions with my own spin on them if I understand the concept a little better. you were saying not to focus so much on the coin words of 'misrepresentation' and 'fabrication' etc, and I was wondering, does that extend to using the media as an example, as...

I was thinking deeper than "cold" although that si fairly obvious. I was thinking along the lines of, "The top third of Norway, during winter, has almost no sunlight during the*day*. This could contribute to sadness, depression, desperation etc." Sweden, for instance, has the highest suicide...

Okay, information I have so far (minus dates, for the most part. Sorry.) is as follows: - Attacked by Britain in the early 1800's - Entered into an allegiance with Napoleon (same war that the militia in Langton’s P&P are fighting in) - Mass Starvation, similar to...

So I'm making a thread here for all contextual discussion about Norway in the 19th century pertaining to A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. All chatter is welcome, even if it's "OMG I LOVES NORWAY LOLZ! (followed by a relevant example ... from the 19th century, of course.) Okay, so aside from...

Okay, so Charlotte saying that she can only afford to marry for economic stability, not romance is an economic paradigm that influences the economic and religious institution of marriage -- and is a personal ideology that she isn't able to fall in love the way Lizzy does? I really am so far...

Techniques are the lovely padding that not only bump up your word count, but show that you know what you're on about (and can prove it by pulling stuff from the text) and also show that you can interpret meanings FROM signals in the text. The word count thing? A joke. But seriously. I...

Very helpful, thank you. But yes, Unfortunately with no one to collaborate or clear threads, this happens. They should have like, specific catagories for P&P, DH, Portrait, &tc & then extra questions. Gah. ORGANISATION PEOPLE!

I do pathways (obviously, dur signature -__-) so I don't have all my subjects this year. I've got Legal & Pdh'pe, though, and those textbooks are bitches evern without anything else in there. But of course, i do pathways because of sport. So I've also got two pairs of shoes, long pants...

I'm planning on using Picture of Dorian for a supplement text, and I have the whole marriage/society thing down pat in my head, but I'm looking for something a little deeper than that. I hope my teacher begins to go into more detail about the 19thC, because I feel like I'm struggling outside...

Coleridge: Kubla Kahn Frost at Midnight Rime of the Ancient Mariner This Lime Tree Bower, My Prison. Any additional notes on DD or Coleridge (excluding RoAM, as I've annotated & written an essay for that already) would be greatly appreciated. Anyone who's also looking for notes on this...

Firstly, ROAM guy I'd love some notes on that, if you'de be so kind. I just handed in my first essay on that. I picke dout about 7 or so techniques for that. With Lime Tree Bower, you have to remember that not only is Coleridge going on a journey, but he's taking you with him. The...
