it kinda depends what area your looking into, ancient, modern or medievel.. pick what area you like, and work from there, think oof things that happened, etc, i'm doing Anne Frank, and that only came across because i wanted to do a femal in history.. i looked into Joan of Arc first, but decided against it.. justr explore different ideas and do a bit of secondary research! good luck

thanx

yeh i know wat u mean but ive been searching for about 2 months and have changed topics around 15 times, its not good i cant decide on anything!!

marieae, u seem quite desperate, so heres some idea..but really it would be easier if you gave us something do work with like what period of history your interested in!!!!!

but anbyways;

1) The druids of Hollywood: Changing perspectives over time from "Camelot" to "The Druid"

2) The tomb of Alexandria; where is it located?

3) Did Alexandria teh Great discover Pandora's box?

4) Diary of Anne Frank: History or hoax?

5) The fabled city of Troy; Lost or found?

6) Nefertiti and Ankhesesamun: Daughter or disguised Queen?

7) Motzarts death; Sucide or murder?

8) DNA; Crick and Watsons greatest discovery or Greatest theft?

umm yeah thats just some idea..email me or pm me if u need help or clarification

4) Diary of Anne Frank: History or hoax?
I'm doing something very similar to that for my ext history work. I was going to do Joan of Arc, but then decided to do Anne Frank instead!

 

[Marieze]

yeh we did Anne Frank in year 8 or 9 english so ive already done a fair bit on her, i didnt think it was that great, i mean very interesting but I persoanlly cudnt do a major work on her, so i admire u!!

 

[shelley]

BREAKTHRU!!

ok everyone Marie had a breakthrough at macqaurie uni yest....it wasnt a good one but this doesnt happen very often to me but ive decided to do the causes of the Thirty Years' War, i found one book that 'inspired' me....and it has around 5 or 6 extended historian's views on the matter......i cud also do the effects and results which seem to differ with every historian as well, so yeh.....i think ive found it!! and yes i know its not ancient...but meh its a topic

 

[Marieze]

no such luck

ok i showd my teacher everything and she told me it was boring and too heavy and that she knew that i didnt enjoy it and that i was just piking it to hand soemthing in.......so its back to the drawing board for me wich suks suks so i neeeed help!!

 

[bahodl]

hey i have a few suggestions for u marie
'Why do historians disagree about when to start the "Middle Ages"?' - http://www.rhs.ac.uk/locating.htm

'Historians disagree as to whether the achievements of Charlemagne and his successors can be evaluated as either a success or a failure'

thats all i can think of atm ill cya tomorrow at school

 

[ms.cinderella]

it's important for you to do a topic on something you're truly interested in.. cos you'll be spending a lot of time researching on it.. so try to think of any topics or areas of history that interest you most.. you're bound to come across something soon.
good luck!
