How to Integrate HSC Ancient History Sources into Your Responses

Archaeological sources are the foundation for our understanding of the past in HSCAncient History

While ancient writing is definitely useful in a study of HSC Ancient History, it is subject to bias and discrimination.

The HSC Ancient History markers know this, and expect every student to incorporate both written sources as well as archaeological sources.

因此,这里有4个步骤,成功地将您的HSC古代历史来源整合到您的回应中!

We will practice these steps using the following question:

‘Outline the archaeological evidence for Greek influence at Pompeii and Herculaneum’

Step 1: Create a List

Go through your notes and resources and create a list of any relevant archaeological sources that can be used to answer the question.

Example:

网格计划是根据河马(希腊建筑师)原理设计的

Mosaics, paintings (Greek mythology e.g. painting of Theseus), and statues

Temple of Apollo; worship of Apollo, Hercules, Minerva, Dionysus, Hermes, and Demeter is evident

Corinthian columns, wall paintings and statues at Temple of Apollo; Greek influence also evident in palaestra design

希腊语peristyles at the House of the Citharist

Step 2: Structure Your Response

After creating a list of relevant resources, structure your response by outlining the various aspects of the question that can be explored.

Example: Aspects of ‘archaeological evidence for Greek influence’

希腊语designinfluence

希腊语artisticinfluence

希腊语religiousinfluence

希腊语architecturalinfluence

希腊语horticulturalinfluence

Step 3: Pair Your Structure with Your Sources

Use the structure you’ve outlined to dictate which sources you can use in the response.

Example:

希腊语designinfluence: Grid plan is designed according to the principles of Hippodamos (Greek architect)

希腊语artisticinfluence: Mosaics, paintings (Greek mythology e.g. painting of Theseus), and statues

希腊语religiousinfluence: Temple of Apollo; worship of Apollo, Hercules, Minerva, Dionysus, Hermes, and Demeter is evident

希腊语architecturalinfluence: Corinthian columns, wall paintings and statues at Temple of Apollo; Greek influence also evident in palaestra design

希腊语horticulturalinfluence: Greek peristyles at the House of the Citharist

Step 4: Write the Response

Example:

The archaeological evidence for Greek influence in Pompeii and Herculaneum is vast and multifaceted. One of the ways in which Greek influence can be seen is in thedesignof the Pompeii’s grid plan, which is reconcilable with河马原理, a famous Greek architect. Another aspect of Greek influence is evident in theartof the two cities, which prominently feature Greek deities and mythology,such as the painting of Theseus。希腊语religiousinfluence is also evidenced in Pompeii through theTemple of Apollo。Further evidence for Greek influence can also be seen in Pompeiianarchitecture, such as theCorinthian columns, wall paintings and statues at the Temple of Apollo。最后,在庞贝中可以看到希腊的影响horticulturein the希腊语peristyles at the House of the Citharist

Integrating Sources on the Fly

我了解您需要能够集成中期资源,因此创建列表和组织资源可能不是可能的。你是怎么做到的?

Fill your notes with archaeological sources

If you haven’t already, supporting the majority of the information in your notes with actual sources is extremely useful. Being able to draw on multiple sources at will is necessary for the HSC exam, so supplementing your notes with sources is almost a non-negotiable.

Example:

  • 信息:宗教渗透了庞贝和赫克拉尼姆的大部分
  • 资源:“The large number of such shrines indicated widespread religious practices among the inhabitants of Pompeii as a whole” (Alison Cooley)
