When I said doing a comparison I did not mean a full page summary, one sentence is sufficient like in the example I have provided. I do agree that going around in circles is a waste of time and ignored, however students are given two sources for a reason and giving one sentence linking the two I...

If are able to go beyond, then why not? Also some teachers do like a comparison, it's purely up to you. Source analysis like any other essay is a something where there is no 'right or wrong' approach.

TIPS ON ATTACKING WWI SOURCES: - Make sure you read the question and see what it is asking you. - Study the sources thoroughly - Whilst doing this ask yourself questions like: why is this person in the foreground/background? since this was published in 1980 however it is discussing the 1916...

HEY GUYS, I thought I'd write up a little information which can help you guys when it comes to writing your source analysis based WHAT IS HISTORY ESSAY. I know this is going to sound stupid but READ THE TEXT. It is extremely important to read the text a few times making notes as you do...

Only a couple of places left guys! Remember I also do essay marking!

In your proposal write down briefly the background history on the bombings so your teacher is well aware of your topic. Then veer towards the changing attitudes towards nuclear culture. Use different events that focus on the differing nature of nuclear weapons, such as how it all began through...

I would attempt to find another source, otherwise if you are certain about the author then go for it. Also if you are looking at the reliability, what is the historians argument on women?

That's completely rude and irrelevant to any of your concerns.

HAHA could not have said it better myself! I'm bringing history back from the dead - although I'm not a fan of monumental history (One of Friedrich Nietzsche's classifications of history)

Was this source that has 'no author, no date, no origin,' given to you or did you find this source?

Hi there! First of all you must know that teachers do not expect THAT much in a proposal. Basically you need to write what you are thinking of researching. And you MUST include background history because teachers do not know every single topic. Also include how you are going to carry out this...

SimpliciVisu, will90211 is completely right. While you do have the freedom to chose what ever topic you want - you need to be able to formulate a question which relates it to historians and how history on the chosen topic is subjective. Looking at insanity is very interesting! I would look at...

The major work is marked internally - so your internal mark is calculated by: Assessment on What is History? (~5%) + PIP (~85%) + Assessment on your personality (~5%) + Trials (~5%) Of course this is give or take according to what your school does. In the final exam you will be required to...

BUMP! Btw guys, after tutoring Sharnieg18 I'm proud to announce that she got full marks for her recent assignment. Good work Sharnieg18!!!

Bump!

I completely agree with you. It isn't easy to understand the subjectivity of history in a matter of days - however students believe it'll make their essay much more sophisticated when really it does the exact opposite -- it makes it too complicated and convoluted. So i'd only use it if you...

My teacher too was a Senior HSC marker - that doesn't make one way correct and the other incorrect. Modern History is a subject which is fluid in nature, so one can easily argue one debate in a certain manner if they feel confident about it. I agree with you that historiography is not necessary...

In order to strengthen your argument you would need quotes without a doubt. Not a million but one per idea is good

I feel with this topic it's the most history extension based. So you need to be able to analyse not only the debate but the historians who made those debates - so if you want to achieve those higher marks you should analyse the historians. Also when writing your response for part b) you must...

Personally I find knowing the historian is great but in order to achieve those higher marks you need to be able to analyse the extract pretty well and relate back to the debate on whether history is subjective or objective. Knowing your historians frankly isn't enough, you need to understand...
