No unfortunately I'm not looking at those topics for Modern, my teacher is most confident teaching the German case studies, so that's what we are stuck with. (along with conflict in the Pacific, which I'm so revved up to start next term!)
Hahaha, yes, my teacher keeps on reminding us that "...just wait till you're in uni!!!". yeah, she brings us sweets and stuff sometimes, I guess it's all just a bit of tuff-love hahaha.
Woah big class. >.> Bigger than my whole Modern class actually n_n'' Well, mine has umm 1 person, give or take
Nah, just little ol' me, chilling with two teachers. >.> Was awkward at first, but now the two teachers just chill with each other and we have big debates and re-enactments... quite fun actually. But I totally relate to the tuff-love idea, they have to be cruel to be kind. So many essays I've had to do each week, though in the end it's all going to be worth it! Oh, wowWoah big class. >.> Bigger than my whole Modern class actually n_n'' Well, mine has umm 1 person, give or take
JFK, oh the fun. We have a system, where we draw a school of thought out of a Roman Infantry Helmet (cool eh?) and then debate (in-person) as Historians from those schools of thought about a particular area of debate. It's really lots of fun, great way to learn too! So I've really enjoyed doing JFK, my teachers have made it a really fun case study. We were going to try the Thucydidean Case Study but one of my teachers wasn't confident in teaching it, and it made her a little stressesd, so we stuck to JFK. n_n
Ahh, I love Russian History, would have loved to do your combo of electives for Modern! Too much Germany for my personal liking to be honest, love the National Study, but would have prefered an individual from another region. Oh well.
Yeah the Study Day was great, I thought it was a good revision tool especially for those that have trials coming up. It was a good way to formulate some succinct notes and preparation for the trial hsc exams! Btw, I wish you the best of luck for! Hope studying and preparation is coming along nicely for you! n_n Now, I 'should' be off to prepare for my Ancient Trial on Wednesday, but we'll see how that goes.
Good on you for sticking with it! )) . Mine are in week 3 next term. Looking forward to studying like i've never studied before in the 3 week "holidays".
Ah yes, that's how my teachers conducted the first section, do very little, and then BAM next thing you know a million more things to read at home! I suppose as long as you're learning the content, then they're doing something right! n_nOh, wow
Oh, I'd love to do that!!!!
My teacher seems to conduct lessons in this way:
Give us a bunch of papers to read, shows as a bunch of slides with a few notes -- basically in 2 hours we don't learn anything, we just get about 6 hours of work to do at home. Dunno if I like this approach, I know i'd much prefer the way your teacher approaches the lessons! However, whatever, c'est la vie, as they say!
Did you catch The Kennedys on ABC? their interpretation was v interesting when matched with context
Oh wow, your trials are so early! Thanks, best of luck
And then next term can be spent doing last assessments and steady revision for the HSC. ...so can't wait for holidays, so exhausted from exams, but at least I only have 3 left. Now I leave to cram for Ancient this afternoon.Haha yes, it was like that in my class too! Very good to incorporate The Kennedys into q2 cos the markers are on the prowl for contemporary historiography. I enjoyed it too! Are you focusing on any areas in debates, or are you looking at all of them? I find that man v myth and private v public are very similar.Ah yes, that's how my teachers conducted the first section, do very little, and then BAM next thing you know a million more things to read at home! I suppose as long as you're learning the content, then they're doing something right! n_n
I did catch The Kennedy's, oh there was so much controversy with that in my classroom, one teacher is quite the traditionalist who you know, prefers the books and the archives, whereas one is relatively much younger and accepts the new methods of technology and quite (like myself) enjoyed the production. Wow, sounds like two historians when we study 'What is History?'
n_n Best thing about Trials now, means I can actually have a 3 week holiday.
Yes, you're so lucky that you're actually going to have holidays .
