God. I couldn't answer that question and I do history.

Our class haven't studied Northern Ireland or Unionists in any great depth, at all, really. I'm doing the Sov. and Part. green book, Dic and Democ blue book, and the Movements for Reform red book.


My teacher's a bit of a mess.


:O I'm worried now.

That question came up in 2006 and I think it is less likely to come out this year, but you never know.

still in history many of the same paragraphs are used for different essays so doesnt hurt to know it. the sample papers theyve made are stupidly difficult and pick abstract topics as well so i'd go on the net and get past papers before the cirriculum change.....

My teacher said that the NI thing, plus NI during the war, plus cultural identity etc isnt at all likely to come up this year as it came up the past two years on the trot. That said, just because it's unlikely, doesn't mean I'm any less freaked that we are disregarding it totally.

We havent done the Eucharistic Conference or Blitz Belfast. At all.
