History Extension exam thoughts (1 Viewer)

[jesusandpals]

I'm so underprepared, I can't remember any historians for Napoleon and I've got no clue how to structure my arguments

literally same, im doing queen elizabeth and i know my historians but i didn't listen the entire time the teacher was teaching cause it was boring as fuck so idk how im gonna write about it

 

[jesusandpals]

im praying question 1 is good at least because the case study im gonna flop

 

[SamDavisEnjoyer420]

bro ik i have yawned at least once in every single history extension class lol

ive learnt quite a bit about my stupid case study these past few days but yeah im going to be real idk the difference between the "origins of the crusades" and "motivation, aims, and actions of the crusaders"

god forbid they ask for all 3 debates because i dont even know what happens past 1095 how can i talk about the historiography of the crusade's impact

does anyone know how many quotes we need per essay from like historians???

they literally say "use one other source" so 1 will technically answer the question (as well as the stimulus)
I have about 20 per essay i think but that doesn't mean i use them all that's just all the ones i can use - cause u also want to incorporate stuff from the stimulus (assuming they give us a written one)

 

[graceluvsA's]

Omfg im shitting bricks how the fuck do i do this exam (excuse my langauge). This is the only subject where i have not done a past paper and i only have 10 units, omg my atar is gonna flop.

No. You're fine you have got this. Past papers aren't necessary for this because the questions are very very similar each year. You know the content, you know your historians, you are fine. You are INCREDIBLE at history extension. Maybe not a state rank but you will walk out of that exam smiling cause you know it just LIFTED UP ur ATAR.
Ur amazing you've got this

Ah yes a fellow student burdened the Crusader topic

what the hell does origins of the crusaders even mean and i dont even know anything about the impact of the crusades because the historians are so different in that debate

also check the wikipedia page for the movie kingdom of heaven and scroll down to the historical inaccuracies section lol there are so many good quotes from riley-smith and thomas madden if you want to talk about popular interpretations and forms of communication (both untested dot points)

THE CRUSADES ARE SO BAD literally my old ass teacher has taught the crusades for every single year he has taught extension there was no escaping this

dont talk any shit about kingdom of heaven or in particular king baldwin iv

It was actually historically perfectly accurate and everything happened exactly as portrayed in the movie, espeically the fat ass siege

The lying to yourself started when you changed your profile picture... I thought you would've stopped by now

ikr

for origins i tend to just look at the differing perspectives/interpretations and usually relate such to context/differing forms of history, or whatever the question is asking.

For historians i tend to use William of Tyre, Anna Konmena, or Stephen Runcimen, although they may some you have that im not aware of

also cheers for the source, i will look into that

god bless all Crusader students, were gonna fucking need it for tommorow

i see, so i'll use origins as my context paragraph and then i'll move onto motivations to start talking about the religious vs material motives debate

i'm familiar with anna konmena and runciman (love his quote “There was never a greater crime against humanity than the Fourth Crusade” like idk bro hitler kinda did stuff a few years back u sure there's nothing in the ballpark at least) so i'll definitely use them in my origins paragraph. thank you so much bro and good luck tomorrow adapting this piece of crap case study to the question

All goods mate

Yea that seems pretty good for the origins paragraph and Runciman is hell of a exaggerator
Funny since me and my mate were just shitting on the guy for the same quote but makes hell a use in the essay
anyways goodluck
