    General Thoughts - Ancient History

    Quotes aren't essential for ancient history, Archaeological sources are just as valid :)

    Section I - Core (Pompeii and Herculaneum)

    I was very pleased (in my immaturity) that I was able to mention brothels in this section. xD For the industry question I talked about how the main industries in P&H were the food industry (talked about how geography effected this and that fishing net source) and the service industry (talked...

    I certainly hope so. Pompeii and Herculaneum was relatively easy! I know I stuffed up one mark in the very first question though >.<; Accidently called something the wrong name. Sparta was alright too. The questions were very different from usual, which was good actually, made it new and...

    Had to do it - Band 6 anyone?

    Wow, I didn't realise it was so easy to acheive a band 6. And here I was under the impression that I would need to get 90%+ raw to get a band six. Regardless, I am still hoping that I got 90%+ raw.

    Section IV - Historical Periods

    In my response I talked about how The Delian League did not acheive it's supposed aim of uniting Greece together against Persia becase: Greece was already at a state of Peace with Persia. Greece was still divided into two by the Pelopponesian League and the Delian League, and there was quite...

    what related text did you use for belonging?

    It's better to do something popular and cliched well then to go out on a limb and try something a little more different and do a terrible job of it. It's used alot because it fits perfectly in with the ideas of this AOS.

    what related text did you use for belonging?

    I used the picture book The Arrival by Shaun Tan.It's got amazing illustrations and fits in well with Skrzynecki's Immigrant Chronicle.Best thing about it is that it has no words, no quotes to remember, only visual techniques.

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    My text was about a terminally ill girl who finds belonging among the worlds within books because she does not fit in with the world around her (I made alot of refferences to other texts in there, mostly classics since the markers will more likely have read them). She is waiting alone outside...

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    You just needed to make it clear within your text what quote you chose to use... usually it helps to use the wording of the quote somewhere in your text. It is important that your refferences to the stimulus are clear, significant and not just vague ones.

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    I was very happy with the stimulus for this. Although, I would have been happy with anything really since I don't use planned creative responses. My story was about 7 pages and I used the second quote for it. Heheh. I actully used the quote as part of the dialogue in my story, I thought it would...

    Oh wow, that is a big drop! Yeah, the whole university process is really confusing already reading about it, so I already had the mindset that it will be explained properly when I get there. When it comes to Ancient History I am very interested in Egypt (how typical of me) but I do also have an...
