I've just started planning for my personal study, and seeing as I also study music I and also interested in covering Nazi Germany, I am very keen in covering the subject of Nazism and Contemporary composers, such as Wagner (archaic Nazi) It's a highly interesting subject (don't KNOW anything yet but will do)

My problem is, I don't know how to structure the question, what kind of title should we use? I will ask my teacher but I won't see him for another week!! I want to have started before then....
Can anyone give me samples of general questions, as I'm sure its not just like 'why...=' What kind of titles do we give the studies, regardless of topic??

Many thanks

Hee hee. Wagner was Hitler's favourite composer and in Prague there's a music hall that has statues of all these composers but htey don't have names on them. So when the Nazis were in Prague he demanded that his men remove the Jewish Mendeleson(sp?) but the ones doing it were a bit htick and took down Wagner instead!

HAHA Brukner I've learnt was one of his favourites too, Mehndelsson was a jew, hence the removal, a lot of very famous artists of the time were Jewish, and hence killed or exiled, Brecht, Mehndelsson, etc.......

I've done some research on what the Nazis knew as 'degenerate music' including Jazz, and anything by Jewish or "un-german" composers, have some more ideas for my question but nothing solid yet. Got a thumbs up from my teacher though :)

To structure your question, select one factor that influenced an event on which you intend to write and use this:

x factor was the most important factor in y event. Now go through all the factors and conclude with how significant x factor actually was and whether it was in fact the most important.

Meh, you think you have it bad. I have to find a political debate in Medieval history and write alot of stuff on it.
