history is fun

Hi Mr Leo here! I am sorry about this. There is an amendment to the requirement in Part III.

Besides a one or two line write up on each photo, you are to select 3 of your most 'meaningful' and 'interesting' photos and do an inference on each one. For example:

From this photograph, I can infer that Chinese street opera was very popular in the past. This can be seen from the crowd who were standing and watching the opera right in front of the stage.

In addition, I can also see that Chinese street opera could attract audience of all ages in the past. This is evident from the kids, middle-aged and old people who gathered to watch the opera.

Hence, the new marking scheme:

1. Effort (number of photographs submitted) 10%;
2. Aesthetic values (current photographs, i.e. those you have taken) 10%;
3. Write-up and infernece 40%
4. Relevance of the photos (to your topic) 40%

This additional inference activity is deemed as a good practice for your exam as well as to help you look beyond and seek out meanings in the mundanes and nuances of everyday's life, which has often been taken for granted.


For the last part of this project you are required to integrate the interview and photographs of your chosen subject and reflect on the following themes:

(I) Past and present
(II) Change and continuity
(III) Future (a prediction)

This is to be typed out and submitted in hardcopy (A4).

Number of words required: 400 - 600

Deadline: 15 Sept 2007 ( We want you to finsih this asap as SA is looming around the corner 5th Oct!!!!)

A more detailed guideline will be posted soon. But do go ahead if you are confident enough.

Thank you.
