I saw her at one of the HTA talks; she seemed very good and intelligent.
Ah yes. Was it the one at Sydney uni earlier this year? If so, we may have bumped into each other unknowingly. I was the guy in one of the first lectures to argue that "neither KFC or McDonalds chips were good because of the economic conditions..."

Highly underrated topic for History Extension in my view because there are a multitude of personalities and geopolitical factors that needed to be considered.
And ties in with power and authority, and conflict in Europe, if you do it

I don't remember that (unfortunately) Sounds comical.

Ahahahahah. I got jeered by the entire auditorium lol. It was for the writing essays one with Mrs Belinda Ho
No I remember one with her and she showed a picture of a B-52 and said "what is this" and someone shouted "nationalism!" so funny.

I hope not 🤞🤞
But I don't think so either. Nobody studies 3
This is what my teacher said about studying 2 debates (only taught his kids 1) when he saw the paper a few years ago apparently he began running through the halls yelling (he is a very old man). So not to say focus on 3 but maybe just do the tiniest little bit, at least look over it

My teacher does this with ancient, and says because it s so rare the head marker has to mark all of our class's responses because there's only two teachers that are put on to mark that part of the exam, and he is one of them.

Also, btw, the new history ext syllabus is saying bye-bye to Menzies and Whitlam, and welcoming Catherine the Great.

Yeah to be honest, those options are hella weird. Whitlam and Menzies are pretty well, meh. I think Catherine the Great is a better option. Have u checked out the new modern syllabus. If so, would love to hear your thoughts :)

Yeah, I thought the best and most and significant changes for what I studied was for the CRM, also I thought that Democracy and dictatorship is simpler now, (which is good?). And the changes to Russia and Indochina seem pretty minimal.

Getting rid of the League of nations and the un was the right idea.
And making brown v board explicit good too.
