Wow, that was a good effort.

Remember though, before you take that advice, it all depends on who marks it, and the weather outside, and any relationship problems the marker is having, and what time of day it is, and how disgruntled they are and... *stops* : >

Major Project

I've done quite a lot of research for mine, and its due next monday so it should be aiight...
Im doing history of gangsters, with primary focus on Al Capone. Im doing the ways in which he has been interpreted through film, and discussing whether he was man/myth... An invented ganster for society to idolyze or an anti-social criminal. Its a pretty interesting topic...

 

[|YaKuZa|EyEz On]

[Peakin@Bondi]

Major Project

I did "At what point does historical bias become historical distortion - an invesitgation on how the Pacific War is being taught in schools"

I got 22/35 for it, NOT HAPPY, because I came last out of all those in my class who handed it in, 2 didn't hand it in.

All the teachers who had a look at it before I finished gave conflicting advice, one said not to make a controversial conclusion, the other said to, but they all gave it an A.

Also, I was the only one who handed it in on time! It was due in before the end of Term 2, and I handed mine in on the Friday, the rest sent it off early in Term 3.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[bluu]

major work

anton my man, i did something similar to youexcept it was i think based on pure luck than skill

"HIstorians fabricate the myth of French threats to the British in Australia between 1788-1810"

I raked in 40/40 for it
but i definitley agree that it was based on pure luck and the anomilies of the marker's mood that determined my mark.

If any future year 12 history extension should stumble onto another piece of advice then it has to be this:

write your essay before you write the question.
that way, it seems like you know what you're talking about instead of rolling off into a deep blue sea infested with the sharks of convolution.

ciao.

 

[Anton]

Gotta' love that bluu. Well done!

By the way, there should be a website with everyone's major works on them. I really do want to read a lot of them (the one on Hiroshima sounds really interesting, as does the one on gangsters, and there are heaps more I can't remember because I'm so tired right now). Anyone up for making a website with all the major works on them? Yes? Yes?
