    'construction and recording over time'

    thats not true at all.. what you do is structure it via issues from the 5 key questions that are pertinent to the source, and in your analysis of the key issue, use different historians views to develop your analysis. eg. i used as my issues; The significance of identity in how history is...

    History Extension HSC Exam 2009

    are you being serious? the way you are supposed to structure the case study question is in order of the development of historical schools of thought. for example i do appeasement and you begin with Cato, Churchill and orthodox historians during the time without the availability of sufficient...

    What are you using for section I?

    anyone not using barbara tuchman is letting themselves down. she is the greatest for providing a 'balanced' view in arguments like science vs art or relativism vs complete objectivity and have perfect quotes for clincher statements and conclusions. she is by far the most useful historian for...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    fair enough, i basically said yes he did shape the period through his reforms but that "The launching of perestroika was not a personal whim of Gorbachev's but a natural result of the emergence of a new generation of leaders." (a quote by Christian) and that ultimately his policies were a...

    Historiography

    if they are atleast 10 words a quote that is around 200 words of your essay as quotes.. assuming it is 800-1000 words with around 300 of them being used in an introduction and conclusion, you would have the most convoluted, incoherent development of argument possible. how can you possibly...

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    How did you disagree with the quote for Gorbachev, it was completely fitting. Growing up in the totalitation Stalinist regime during collectivisation clearly influenced his later policies attempting to reform communism and allow freedom of speech and information. Was a perfect question for Gorbi!

    Is it suggested to memorise pre-written essays for the HSC?

    dude, look at every single past paper for both english advanced and extension and clearly the questions for every single essay (apart from module b) are asking you to do the same thing - write an essay which shows how the texts relate to the concept of the module/AOS. If you have your own...

    Is it suggested to memorise pre-written essays for the HSC?

    i completely disagree.. obviously for some subjects (histories especially) you have no notion of what the question might be, for english (apart from module b) it is always the same idea just worded differently.. all you do is memorise an essay and know that it covers all aspect of the text/s in...
