Yes, it was to allow teachers to get used to teaching it.AsyLum said:Its weird, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this part of the preliminary course prior?

I just wish there wasn't so much to cover.felix the cat11 said:pompeii and herculaneum is great, i find it very interesting as it branches off into aspects of modern society aswell as the obvious ancient side. i like how there is study of architecture, art ect as it shows a more personal side of the ancient world.......pomp and herc=10 out of 10
Everyone in Ancient History could do with it.hula girl said:so its a boring topic? grreeaattt
what a brilliant idea
i'll suggest to my teacher at once!
we haven't actually started pompeii yet. we got given an assignment to do over the holidays.
maybe that means we'll start it when we go tomoz (ew)

Is probably as good as you're going to get unfortunately![]()
It's a really good system - allowing teachers to teach something to year 11 in 2003 and then to year 12 in 2005.AsyLum said:Ahh thought so, so yeah, there should be sufficient content in dealing with it then![]()
Of course it has been on the Preliminary syllabus for a number of years - my school was teaching it in 1994 as it was on the syllabus implemented that year. As I wasn't teaching the syllabus before that year (only teaching modern) I don't know if Pompeii was on the two year syllabus but I suspect not.PwarYuex said:It's a really good system - allowing teachers to teach something to year 11 in 2003 and then to year 12 in 2005.

When they first talked about a core for Ancient History (in the late 1990s) there were a number of suggestions put forward - Pompeii, Alexandria (which may very well replace it in the next syllabus or two), Bronze Age Greece and even pre-1788 Australia (that one got virtually no support from Ancient History teachers.).
A did a tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum with Brian Brennan and Estelle Lazer (and Jenny Lawless and Kate Cameron) last September/October holidays and there were quite a few teachers on that tour who were doing the tour because they had to teach Pompeii this year and had no knowledge about the topic having never studied or taught it.
