    Would you reccommend extension?

    If your not sure, find out as much stuff you can before making your decision. You will hate ext if you're not interested in what you're doing.

    Thoughts on History Extension

    Im a huge fan of history, and i do all five units. If i had a choice, I wouldnt do ext tho...its really not my thing.

    Athenians or spartans???

    Neutral There's nothing wrong with performing an assessment which results in a neutral outcome. ie - if you were writing an essay on the Persian Wars, you could easily look at each battle, assessing the influence of Spartans/Athenians on those battles then come to a conclusion at the end of...
