VCE Stuff > VCE History: Revolutions
Lets get some life into Revs dammit!

Haha i know. History is just so great and i hate it that we can't discuss it with others. Today we had a massive indepth discussion about exam strategy. I'm thinking of doing Russia for Section 1 and China for Section 2. (I only just decided to do China for the essay because i got 29/30 on my SAC for it lol).
Ok, i'll try and go against Lenin, and perhaps recognise the role of Trotsky. Nevertheless, if the questions requires me to focus on a Lenin, i'll probably have to lol.
Butler:
I'm quite a fan of Revs myself. I've also heard not to be a Lenin-lover, but try and talk more about Trotsky where possible.
I've decided I'm doing France for the first section and Russia for the second.
JL_91:
From the very start my teacher has been 'training' us to do Russia for the first and France for the second. So he's not expecting any of us to make the choice for ourselves, that's his strategy - he wanted us to learn how to properly 'package' our knowledge from each AOS into the chosen format of writing only. I'm not brave enough to go against that!
I would say the essay is still my weakest section, although I somehow got away with an A+ for my SAC (the one I mentioned earlier in this thread where I had to write 2 essays in one hour)...but I just cannot seem to come up with outstanding arguments in the allocated time =S
Amnesiac:
I think i would have a similar problem - i've i'd actually done essays in a half hour haha. However, since doing english essays in an hour i think i will find it easy because History is more comprehensive IMO.
My teacher has been telling us to do Russia 1st and China 2nd and at first i disagreed with him, but now i'm beginning to realise its advantages. For example, since i write better on Creating a New Sociey for both revolutions, this didn't affect my decision. However, with rev ideas, leaders etc i had to think it through logically. In the end i decided that i would write better on Russia for the 2 short answer questions because the content is easier to understand than China (for the sheer fact that the pre rev in Russia is 17 years and for China it is 51 years haha.) Therefore, i would do the visual for China, because its more open to interpretation, and i have more historians views i can use for part d.
Easy choice now that i look at it haha.

Anyone wanna walk history?
