1. For the hsc exam, section 1 (regardless of what question), how many historians should I talk about. I know chronological order is seen is a bad idea so should I structure it as let's say 2-3 body paragraphs w 'ideas' that can be proven through however many historians?
2. I know that you should have some understanding of historian's personal context- but how in detail does this need to be mentioned? Should context only be mentioned if it's relevant to my argument?
3. I'm struggling to develop my history ext 'voice'- how do I have a strong argumentative voice? any general tips eg should personal pronoun be avoided? In modern I can generally write essays which are strongly backed by fact and historian quotes- I used this kind of approach in trials w explaining historian's ideas and saying how it disagreed w the source. This got me 20/25- how do I lift this up to a 25/25 + integrate the source correctly?
4. Also, should I avoid mentioning my case study in section 1? It's postcolonial/colonial related so I generally can find a way to adapt it to every argument but I mentioned it in my trials and feel like that's where I went wrong?
Thanks for your help!
