Thanks I guess I will keep doing it! And Some Vunt does Ext English 1 and 2, doesn't he?

ah ha! I hope so! :P You too!

Thanks for the clarification! That's a tiny bit of the course I need to learn before the exam. Thanks.

By the towns Gournia and Zakros, do you mean what industries, trade, occupations, they had. Or the specific architectural towns themselves? For the palaces, I have just memorised the key features of each: central court, light wells, magazines, etc. I know some specific rooms in Knossos: pillar...

That's great! Thanks!

Would it ask for 3, or do you think that 3 would be the minium to be sufficient?

Hey, my creative writing piece covers three different settings, I've raised the issue with my teacher that I'm worried that it looks like it jumps from place to place. She suggested that I simply put three dots on the line below the previous paragraph to show a new scene: eg. *** I've seen...

Hey, I have two main texts and two related texts. Will that be enough?

It varies. In either the Personality (Xerxes) or Period (Persia) section, I would estimate that I use around 12 - 18 depending on the question. On the other hand, Minoan Crete, our society, remains enigmatic, most of the time we can only write 'it is believed' 'it is possible', etc. So for any...

Hey, I'm not sure if anyone else is doing Minoan Crete as their society, it doesnt appear to be too popular. But i'm wondering could we be tested on features of the individual palaces? Our teacher never covered the palaces in great detail, but it seems like something that we could be asked...

I found the Hamlet question to be pretty decent. I just discussed how Hamlet is 'soldier-like' (his struggle to restore the kingdom), why he has to die (because of his crimes against morality) and something about Laertes' forgiveness. Frankenstein was the basic context comparison, but I think...

Re: Has this section of the paper ever asked for MORE than one piece of related mater Always best to be prepared... :)

Of course, I'm going to have two planned. But I'd like to see the rough odds of being asked for more than one. Fortunately, the Paper 1 belonging essay only asked for one.

Why would they reveal it? isn't that part of the test? by "composition on or adaption of a studied text" I hope they mean a stimuli they will give us (like past hsc creative sections). I studied the Immigrant Chronicles, and the only option I see is to change my character's name to Peter...

That's awesome! I would never have selected any of those, Although I was considering the Near Eastern Documents and possibly Antiquity's heirs. I seriously cant wait until the HSC is over and I can start doing ancient history at Macq! Edit: I.O.U reputation when I spread it around.

May-cat! didn't know you ventured outside of the Macquarie Uni forum! :P Are you referring to the undergraduate B.Arts 'Egypt and the Near East'? Because I cant find anything that centres around Persia...

I've realised that Zevi, Guzzo and Lazer can be used for any possible question on the archeologist/conservation/etc. question. They work with the changing nature of archaeology, conservation, reconstruction, and I reckon I could make Lazer work for ethical issues. I've never heard of Sarah...

That's why I feel fortunate for doing both Xerxes and Persia for my period and personality. Both are probably the most interesting courses I've done in my six years of schooling. I just wish some Australian university had courses on Near Eastern Ancient history. Minoa Crete and Pompeii on the...

Well, I'm guessing that one of the questions might possibly be on the earlier years and one on the later years, I'm kinda hoping for Japan's occupation of Asia.
