In our class, there has been an emphasis that Post-Modernism and Modernism are a must mention-although not a saturative feature of a question one response. What was advised was a comparison of Jenkin's view of 'It is not 'What is history?' we should be asking, but 'Who is history for?' with...

The best way to structure the essay is to try and identify the syllabus dot points within the source e.g. What is history? By doing that, write about the source's argument, how different interpretations of those points are evident in other historians (e.g. Matching Von Ranke with Gibbon-'wie...

Well done. Keep it up. Unfortunatley time for the first question buggered me up but I suppose practice makes perfect. Good luck for the main event.

How did you go with Elizabeth as a case study? Got full marks for it, but the first question had too much to write on and not enough time. It was a prick. (Only got 21).

They are just aspects of, for you, Elizabeth, that historians have mixed views on. The debates are gender and identity, political and administrative and religion.

Thanks for that, mate.

Do you know of any major booksellers that would have Camden's works? Local libraries out here only stock 'Thomas the Tank Engine' books and are as useful as a dictionary with an index. If you know of any could you tell us if there are some outlets in either Canberra or Wagga? Thanks.

Just did the historiographical debate over Hannibal Barca's motives for not taking Rome after Cannae (216 BC). Dissappointed with result, only got 56/60.

If you can get your hands on Ken Webb's text book and the Board of Studies source book of readings, your set. Know as many of the historians, trying to spread them accross as many schools as you can, know their works and a couple of quotes each for them, then you should be right.

Yeah, I have some notes from the teacher as well as notes she got from lectures in Sydney. I will type them up and send them to you if you would like. It would do me some good as well. Cheers.

For the multiple choice in the two-unit paper, there was a question about spirit beings. Was the answer: Animism (D) or Gnosticism (A)?

When looking at this case, one must admire the barrister that leaked the transcripts. The police were not letting their case be known to the defence, therefore the balance was tipped towards the prosecution. By leaking the documents and getting the public on side, the balance has been shifted...

Basically, what Stresemann did with his policies could have been interpreted by the right wing as being against Germany and defeatist. Therefore, a resulting wave sentiment against him would have occured (which it did when he was dismissed). This led to Hitler gaining power in latter stages.

Yes, Stresemann may have been a positive influence, however, what must not be ignored is the right-wing disillusionment of him that was propogated by some of his policies that complied with the Versailles Treaty. Therefore, by this compliance, the right-wing, as well as the left, may have seen...

Apologies there, I am shizerhaus with computers, previous message is directed at MmmClag.

I am under the assumption that you know most of this already but a bloody good source of information is from the German documentary producer Guido Knopp. I am not exactly sure if it would detail Mengele's psychology but it has a heap of information on Auschwitz and the Holocaust in general.

Assess the motives of Hannibal Barca after the Battle of Cannae during the Second Punic War.

Out our school, there is four of us. Have afternoon lessons which are a b***tard because I live thirty kilometres away from my school. Will get worse next year though.
