Um, I don't know. :eek: We just finished Troy, and we're doing the Celts now. Don't know which one is considered the case study, though.

We just started Troy, but we've already done the Iceman, the Greenland Vikings, the Anasazi Indians, the Tomb of Phillip II and some random case study on underwater archaeology. I find it really dull...

We did our case studies individualy, i did the colosseum and the fall of Rome, we had to present to the class! I know one girl did Dier El Medina, i thought it was quite interesting.. its that group that built the pyramids, isnt it?

I find Ancient dull in general. :/ Pity, it has the potential to be so interesting too.

I tend to be the opposite, i find Ancient SO interesting..My teacher is the best, so i guess that helps.

Lucky. :( I had a really good teacher, and then she left us. lol. Our new one is alright, but doesn't make me as passionate and interested in the subejct as my old one did. Which sucks, because like I said, you can tell it COULD be an interesting subject, but it just isn't to me.

WOE.

My teacher keeps telling us yr 11 ancient sucks, and that next year we'll really like it...
anyway, we've done archaeology of course, boudicca (celtic queen), roman republic and we're starting alexandria in a couple of weeks

I am currently studying Pompeii and herculaneum, which at times is good if you have a half decent teacher

Hey, I'm doing Deir el Medina and i think it is great. Ancient History is one of my favourite subjects as we have the best possible teacher you could ask for. She is so entertaining and makes everything so interesting that somehow it gets drilled into your brain without even realising it. Then when it comes to the exam you can remeber eveything clear as the day she said it.

It's amazing that if a teacher is truly passionate about a subject how much effect it can have on the individual students learning.

:)
