Predicting what will be in it :S (2 Viewers)

I have NO CLUE.

I'm hoping for a short Egypt question about the three seasons

My Topics:
Julio-Claudians- Please be something about Praetorian Guard changing role, or Senate
New Kingdom Egypt till the death of Amenhotep III- Something about the army?
Hatshepsut- It's all sort of the same

And P and H of course (Hoping for a forum question in here)

Good luck!

does anybody find that there just isn't enough to write on claudius, not worth 25 marks anyways...

 

[angryravinghobo]

maybe 'evaluate ancient/modern interpretations' for the personality

Have to disagree, Claudius is a damn good one to write about... I mean come on....Gauls anyone?

 

[gk0608]

did you mean claudius, or the actual personality question...

 

[Justina]

How long do you think the 25 mark essay should be?

haha really? i find it really hard for some reason =S, i can do everyone else just not claudius XP so hoping that its not a claudius question!
I like Agrippina though, really think she kicked ass, bit of a bitch but still...i like her

 

[gk0608]

well for modern it should be at least a booklet (that's what teacher told me)... but that's for average handwriting... also i think if your materials really good and you argue well you can get away with less than a booklet...but personally my prepared responses usually take up booklet and a half, or more, so i guess it just depends. also i like to fill up more than a booklet because i just dont feel safe until i do XP

 

[angryravinghobo]

the evaluation question (15 mark)- it would be the same for each personality (xerxes for me)

oh no, i meant for the julio claudians (as in historical periods), they can ask you questions on specific emperors. sorry for confusion.. i should have been clearer

Yeah... I suck at Gaius... mainly because he just sat around being psycho rather than DOING ANYTHING... no wait... he made his Senator a horse. good move. I'm totally going to base an essay on that -.-

ahah yeh that's why they'll probably never ask about his reforms and policies
...does incest count as a reform?

oh and what did you mean by 'Gaul' for Claudius? did you mean his british invasion or...

 

[jennieTalia]

He introduced Gauls into the Senate! There was a massive inscription about it. I did him for my speech, hence the weird socially-deprived enthusiasm about a balding slobbering (as my AH teacher says) old man.
It caused problems and the Senate were pissed, but maius imperium and all....
I have a feeling he also gave them citizenship as well... but you might wanna check that.

 

[mattchis]

Nahh you won't. What you having problems with?

I like your siggy btw!

 

[Sangfroid]

Seriously doubt there'll be a question about the forum this year, they had that in '06. :/ I hope it's not too specific >_>.

Quite sure the last Q (15 mark one) will be about conservations issues or ethical issues though, since the other two topics were covered in the prev. 2 years. My desperate last-minute study is gonna be based off those.
