Yesterday, I did around 5 hours work on Sparta for Ancient History. Today, I've watched half a documentary on Sparta my teacher gave me, and now I'm moving onto CAFS. Tomorrow, I'm having a break and going out with a few friends, which means thursday will be spent on my PIP, as far as I know...

I finished my introduction, half of my log and chapters 1 - 3. I've also finished conducting interviews and a focus group. Seriously, I cannot wait for this wretched project to be over! It's taking over my social life! ARGH.

I thought it was great. I got a heap of undergraduate books, and the people at each stand were really informative - especially the girl from Uni of Canberra and the guy from International film school (?). They pretty much told me everything about the schools. The seminars were also really...

I've completed my introduction and half of my central material. Oh, and I completely agree with the comment that it's extremely hard to put pen to paper. Honestly, I had no idea how to start my PIP, but once I started, I couldn't stop. The only downfall is - I'm very behind in my Society...

Yeah, I'm going too. Hopefully it'll be worthwhile though ....

I'm guessing they want you to discuss the many aspects of crime demonstrated in texts and how they're affected by their particular context. By this, you could refer to the genre as a whole, then narrow it down to the distinct sub-genres of your texts (e.g. Hitchcock's Rear Window is a realist...

Definitely try writing notes under the themes displayed in Hamlet. Y'know, Appearance Versus Reality, Hamlet's inability to act etc. Then, try finding scenes/quotes to support this theme, whilst including specific techniques to support your theories too. Also, find other critics'...

That sounds like an exciting topic! Sorry, I can't help though, seeing that I went to a mainstream school, and then in Year 10, began distance ed. (home student). I think it'd be a bit difficult finding people to survey, seeing that most of the homeschooled students I personally know, have...

Just research Lycurgus' reforms, in conjunction with different archaeological and historical views on him. I mean, did Lycurgus really exist? Poets at the time didn't speak of him whatsoever, however, only sources after his existance (e.g. Herodotus) speak of his significance, and how...

Needs: Access to Resources, Education, Employment, Health, Housing, Security and Safety, Self-Esteem, Sense of Identity. Factors influencing access to resources: Age, Ethnicity, Disability, Location, Socioeconomic Status, Gender etc. These will inevitably be, in some way or another...

Here are some positive and negative effects of Stalin: Positive - emergence of middle class, women could do male jobs in the industry, better education which gave Russia their own skilled technicians, positives of collectivisation for peasants was that poorer peasants now got shared profits...

When writing essays, you must comprehend the question before you actually put pen to paper. Therefore, you would analyse the key words in the question. For example, if the question was .... Analyse Stalin's positive contributions to Soviet Society. Then, you'd underline Analyse and Positive...

I got 25/25 and I'm thrilled! Oh, how I love CAFS.

A belief is "trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something". Ultimately, a belief is basically something one accepts as true or real. It could be a belief in the education system or in popular culture. Seriously, everybody has beliefs; if you didn't, you wouldn't be human. Maybe take...

Maybe you could mention the scientific and technological idealistic advancements, which were extremely influential at the time both texts were developed. For example, Galvanism, which is the contraction of a muscle that is stimulated by an electric current (developed by Luigi Galvani). Shelley's...

Wow, I do all my subjects through distance ed. Seriously, I wouldn't be complaining if I were you ...

Likewise, it took me a while to get into the novel, but after intently studying the text, I love it! I love the issues the novel brings up (overreaching, man playing God), and I love the parallels it shares with Blade Runner. Oh, and I absolutely adore the way Shelley has creatively...

I'm currently loving studying Frankenstein and Blade Runner. They provide us with a whole range of techniques, encapsulating all the different 'lessons' within both texts (aspects of overreaching, man playing God etc). I also love Shelley's use of allusions (esp. Rime of the Ancient Mariner and...

Like Frankenstein, Blade Runner is valued for the fact that it deals with the consequences of humans pretending to be God, integrated with other concerns about the future of humankind. However, it also carries with it that 'sci-fi' attraction of taking its audience into a disturbing world of the...

I also went to the PIP day, and I thought it was interesting. Although, some of the schools who attended the day were extremely disruptive (the girls behind me kept kicking my seat), but other than that the day was thoroughly worth while. Haha, and there were some Hip Hop rappers who were...
