how is everyone preparing for q1 specifically? i hear a lot of mixed things - some people saying do base essays, others saying just remember the historians + context. curious to know what everyone thinks!

I think it is better to remember the historians and context and then do a bunch of practice questions so you feel better prepared to write a question 1 response.

hey! well i hear rote memorising is the way to go. A historian called Bon Bon is also apparently a good source

 

[zs3]

omg yesss I've seen sources from Bon Bon they are really insightful

 

[99.95dreams]

Yeah honestly he's quite niche, but his content is very well explained. i'd suggest others who don't know this historian to look him up

 

[zs3]

yes yes he's really valuable to use for almost any of the past question 1s given in the hsc

 

[99.95dreams]

wow i can't believe you have heard of him, literally no one i know does. do we go to the same school or smth?

 

[zs3]

omg literally- wait I'll dm you

So i'm curious, should we just essentially learn about several different historians throughout history, quotes from them, and maybe also case studies? Like the holocaust denial movement, post-truthism in America, etc?

 

[99.95dreams]

yea basically. know a range of postmodernist + enlightenment + modern historians (or people who think they are historians), CONTEXT, quotes. case studies are also important, especially ones relating to historiography
