At the beginning of the course I wanted to do a topic on Bach, the classical musician since I'm into his stuff, but there was such a lack of historical debate, my teacher went against it. So I changed my topic to the Titanic disaster and how historians have viewed and interpreted it and made it so controversial and romanticized to the extent it has today (eg. the movie and so on). Its pretty cool, I have a lot of interest in the event to begin with so I found it quite easy to find sources and it was an excuse to watch the movie again and again. My teacher even told me a few stuff about other Titanic movies that have been exaggerated and stuff, so its all good.

I'm doing the portrayal of history in video games. My focus question is "Assess how games developers seek to change the way history is perceived". It's pretty interesting, and half the research is actually playing games! :)

I am doing 'What Exactly was the French Revolution'.

It was pretty to find the historians and their arguments.
