Hey,
I've been doing Ext. History for about a month now and I'm really liking it. Our case study is Spain and The Aztecs. Apparently barely anybody chooses it which I thinks a good thing. I think there's eleven of us with two people already dropping it.

i think i might do the rwandan genocide, but i have to find historians, and it only happened in 1994! so that might be hard
there are so many interesting topics!

I was watching a doco yesterday, and wondering whether or not I should change it to:

Traditional socialism: Dead or Alive?

Hey, I have made my question for my major work...How does this sound...

Investigate the role of the United States Government in changing society’s opinions on the 1947 Roswell Incident.

Any thoughts???

Try to get feedback from your teacher. As for me, I think it could be quite general and can be better worded.

we have done...what is history from herodotus to the Annales historians

I have to admit, it does involve great motivation and hard work to tackle ext. hist
( 2 people dropped already= 2 down..4 to go..)

now, our teacher just gave us some practice essay questions straight from the HSC paper..about "what is history"

geez...its due on friday..

say, what do you guys think about herodotus as being the father of historia?

and as for my project..i threw "french revolution" on the banister since a lot of people are doing it ..

i think i'm doing Nikola Tesla OR the liquidation of the warsaw ghetto..
