Oh, no!!!! Not all of this shit about Bradley yet again!! Get over it!!! Use her judiciously and you'll be OK. There is no hard and fast rule about referring to her, or even (shock!!horror!!) quoting her!!:burn: I am a History teacher and consider myself a historian-always have-because I do...

Hi! You could try the following: [LIST] R.K. Sinclair, Democracy and Participation in Athens A.H.M. Jones, Athenian Democracy C.M. Bowra, Periclean Athens V. Ehrenberg, From Solon to Socrates W.R. Connor, The New Politicians iof Fifth-Century Athens N.G.L.Hammond, A History of...

About England, I totally agree. They are the most hyped, overrated and overexposed team in living memory. First, it was Beckham's foot (last WC), this time it's Rooney's foot ("will he, or won't he?"). It is as if the whole damn outcome of the Cup rests on this mindless little thug's nether...

Surely you are not calling US a "gypsey nation"? On another tangent: I was actually in the Netherlands when the Socceroos played them in Rotterdam. I watched the game with a bunch of expat Aussies, Irish and a few Dutch, along with a somewhat bemused gang of women from the Rood en Wit cricket...

Hey, Otay!! I wasn't suggesting that we'd win because the Azzuri had 10 men-I think we could have got over them if they still had 11. What I meant was that it was obvious that they were wilting a bit towards the end of regular time and we were still full of running. I believe that if the...

[ I agree. It was a pity that each of our games was so badly influenced by the refs. I believe we were the only team in the whole tournament to have this happen so consistently-WHY????:burn: It seemed that more often than not, one of our players only had to go near an opponent to be whistled...

[SIZE="3"][/SIZE]Without actually going along with the "conspiracy against Australia" theory, it does look mighty suss that each of Australia's four games was marred by atrocious refereeing decisions. To come back as we did in the games where we fell behind early just shows the fighting...

As I advised some time ago, there is a specimen paper on the Board of Studies site under Ancient History. It is well worth a look in order to get an idea of the types of questions and the format. The other advice given by members is sound as well, so if you are stuck, give our suggestions a...

Examining Core Study Hi! If you look at the new AH syllabus online on the Board of Studies site, you will find a sample exam paper for the new course. Questions for the Core Study are set out exactly as they would appear in an actual HSC paper (as are those for the other topics). They...

Hey goldendawn! That was a great analysis of the poem and it's pivotal idea. I'm sure it will be helpful to others. Fantastic stuff!!!

Hello cem! I have been reading some of your posts re plagiarism and teaching, and I concur with your opinions and philosophy about teaching. I thought that Pwar Yuex, whose opinions I usually respect, were a bit harsh in response to one of your posts. I would like to establish contact with...

Re Vesuvius Hi! Check the sources and go online. There is info galore! For an eyewitness account of the eruption, read Pliny's Letters or check out Internet Ancient History Resource. Good luck, Magister

Bradley' Pompeii text Hi! I like this text as it is student-friendly, well-illustrated and is highly readable. I am using it with my students, but I will also be using a range of other texts and resources as well. You shouldn't rely on just ONE text; you have to be prepared to do wide...

Re Bradley undefined Hear! Hear! Very well said! Magister

Pam Bradley Hi all!! Good to see some support for Pamela Bradley. Let's see some more!! For Tom Hillard, 3 cheers for making AH interesting and fun :cool: !!! Magister

Bradley and Hillard Tom Hillard taught me at UNE (some moons ago!!) and he was great fun. Let's start up a fan club!!?? Despite all the negative and sometimes downright nasty comments about Pam Bradley's texts, I have always valued them and my students found them very user-friendly. I really...

Re Julius Caesar Try Caesar's own commentary on the Civil Wars-you get the story from his own perspective, although it is written in the 3rd person. The introduction by Jane Gardiner in the Penguin translation is very useful. There are many biographies about Caesar; Theodore Mommsen's is a...

Re the "Roman Revolution" Be strong in your knowledge of the Gracchan reforms and the outcomes as a result of the Gracchan attempts at what was considered "revolutionary" conduct. Understand the role and potential of the office of tribune at this time and beyond. This was a period of great...

Re Athenian Law Courts (dikasteria) You need to know: *how the juries work *how trials were conducted *numbers on juries *how jurors were selected *types of punishment *the allotment machines and how they worked (ballots, how they were cast...) *the water clock to time...

re Unis to do AH Hi! Macquarie and New England offer the best Ancient History courses. They have options that are varied and interesting. You can also tie it in with archaeology. Sydney Uni has a very fossilised faculty and courses. The others are fun!! Regards, Magister
