Quoting in Essays.. (1 Viewer)

[lemonade]

I don't know about anyone else but i really hate having to learn quotes from modern historians..

that aside.. does anyone know of anywhere online where i could find some quotes for ww1, russia, trotsky and indochina?

and do we need to know quotes from modern historians for ww1? or is the exam just on the sources they give us?..

ive got my modern trial this friday, stressing..

for the quotes i use, our teacher just says "write that in you notes" its usually some phrase from a textbook that sounds good. So basically, just take whatever out of your text book and say "historian lemonade described vietnamisation as..."

heehee.. wish i was a historian.. then i'd have the power to make hsc students have to quote me..

my teachers said that its really really bad to quote from textbooks?

do we need to know quotes for ww1 though?

you dont need to remember exact quotes.. you can paraphrase as well.

do we need to know quotes from modern historians for the World War 1 paper? or do we just use the sources that they give us and not need to know any more??
I really need to know this cause my trial is on friday (ahhh!!) and i need to know if i need to learn a whole lot more stuff..

i like paraphrasing..

...and specifically these documents:

nope, no quotes for wwI, the only quoting you will be doing if any is from the sources
