ahhh webb! I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS MAN HE IS PRACTICALLY A GOD
he managed to somehow transform me from a struggling history student to topping my grade last year in the HSC as i was lucky enough to have him as my teacher
putting my obvious bias aside, the books are legendary. the easy to understand essay plans answering commonly asked hsc questions will give you a huge advantage in your school assessments and are a great base to work from. I used other text books but i found that they didnt explain concepts as well as webbs, and arent as suited to the hsc format.
Ken Webb - Home - i PROMISE they won't let you down.
- especially world war one, its so compact and consice you wont need to pour over the overload of material on the subject
*edit* and history ext, for the love of god make your life easy for yourself and get this book (it was the only material i used and obtained better results than those who poured over other readings, trust me webb does all the work for you)
if you do nothing else, go to the history association lectures -
History Teachers' Association of NSW Home Page, or any lectures by them really i found them really helpful, especially in comparison to the similar edassist ect
