Hey Foxster.
Last year I did the Arthurian Legend, with a major focus on how it became mythologised. I wrote about 2 key historians; Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas Malory and explained how the contextual influences of these historians led to the Arthurian legend being designed to promote the personal, social and political beliefs of the time.
Now this is relevant to your assignment in the sense that after I explained how the Arthurian legend became mythologised I made general comments about the significance of mythologised history.
My main point was that historical accuracy is not always the central issue, and using my specific case study, I illustrated the impact mythologised history had upon society. For the Arthurian Legend I predominantly focused upon the Holy Grail.
Now to do well in history extension you have to be able to challenge traditional perspectives and positions. In a bid to achieve this I incorporated different perspectives on mythologised history. I remember finding several historians, such as David Dumville, who practically stated that mythologised history should be rejected from our textbooks and teachings. My argument challenged this and used specific examples in my case study to back this up. This is something you should set out to achieve in your essay. At this point you need to incorporate more examples, instead of making general comments about mythologised history.
Keep working on your essay. You still have a lot of time to improve it. It’s quite impressive to see that you are at the draft stage at this point in time. I know I wasn't and I attained a mark of 21/25 for my essay, with an internal mark of 43/50 and an overall mark of 42/50.
Find attached my assignment. I don't know how useful you'll find this but you never know.
Good luck with it, if you have any further questions don’t hesitate to send me a pm.
