Woah, the Doc Q will be either Vietnam, Moon Landing, or Bus Boycott. No others.

Same here. Essay was about how they promoted a sense of collective identity.

I wrote about how it reflected Irish society at the time:
1. Lavish decoration, even poor tenements- reflection of confidence
2. 1,000,000 at Phoenix Park- communal worship- widespread catholic worship
3. 1932- Election- FF Green Card. People vote for separation from Britain- religious separatism- Congress expression of this
Lead on ===>> 4. Dev's commitment to event
6. Bunreacht na hEireann- influence of the church on society
7. Difference between North and South

And the orthodox opening and closing.

Our teacher gave us unreal notes on this topic, so most of them ideas are very valid, and can all be related back to the topic of the Congress.

I'd throw in Congress and FF's social and economic policy there, to be safe. Not sure about Cumann Na nGaedheal.

Ekels

In the book, there are a few key personalities. In the past 3 exams (sample included) there has been a key personality involved in a question. So, I'm tipping that Lloyd George's contributions to the treaty or Griffith in the 2nd SF Party may come up.

bUILDERtHEbOB

I'm studying:

World Topic 3:
Nazi Propaganda
Nuremburg Rallies
Pop Culture
Technology of Warfare
Church - State Relations

Ireland Topic 2:
Strike & Lockout
Anglo-Irish Literary Revival
Gaelic League
GAA
James Connoly
Douglas Hyde

Ireland Topic 3:
Eucharistic Congress
FF and CnaG Social and Economic Policies
Belfast During WW2
Impact of WW2 on Norn Iron

As for the document question I think the Bus Boycott will come up.

gaybitch

Arthur Griffith could come up as a key personality. His original stuff, Resurrection of Hungary, and then the Treaty. That'd be okay.

Just to let you know for the Doc Q, it can only be vietnam, moon landing or the boycott there the only 3 that can come up

Drodan

I have the nice advantage of having the chief examiner as a teacher.(or so I'm told)

She seems to be tipping highly

Vichey
Cultural Nationalism + Dev
Pop Culture
And for some reason Larkin

These are not garuentees(i cant spell) just suggestions.

melboix

I would love for Pop Culture to come up. Or Stalin. His use of terror could be good.
I've heard Fisheries is likely, something on RTE would be amaze...
As for the earlier stuff...I dunno, I'll be learning off the Foreign & Economic policies of CnaG&FF but I've no idea what else to look at! O.O
Deffo covering all the case studies. Dunno what to favour really.

boobookitty

I'm scared ****less for this exam!

Doorzie

dont know why everyone is scared of this exam its so predictable...
Parnel, cul nationalism, lockout......
CnaG + FF eco n foreign policies, success of sinn fein!!
Hitler rise2power,foreing policy,antisemitism(holocaust)..Rise of mussolini, church state relations-mus n hitl
Stalin show trials!
tell me am i not def covered...course i am!!!!!!!

Cry BAbies!!!!!:mad:

armbruster

That would be great if any of them came up! Why do you predict these ones? Based on mock? Have any teachers given thoughts on what might come up. Ours didn't because she feels its in our best interests if she doesn't influence areas we intend to study.

The problem with History is that, if it comes to it that you actually haven't learnt an essay which you have to answer on, you're screwed, as you can't waffle.

JC 2K3

Alternatively, rather than waffling or regurgitating a learnt off essay, try learning the facts and writing an essay suited to the question based on these facts....

Ekels

Should we learn off just the case study, or the whole chapter which incorporates the case study?

Riotguy

^ The whole chapter if you can, as you're expected to understand the context i.e. you need information on the background of the study and the consequences.

BarryDoodles

You gain gain a max of 12mrks for background but it will also positively impact your overall evaluation. Also note: there is a max of 4 mrks available for your conclusion UNLESS you introduce a new fact or point.
Examiners simply do not give twelve marks for a paragraph so if you desire to exploit the marking scheme i would split your intro in a definition, background and a second paragraph on background. If you link your following paragraphs to the question asked and stating a future consquence of the action (its impact) you can bypass the 12mrk cap for background. This technique is handy for things like Stalin Show Trials. Hope this Helps

lukeg06

yea so looks okay, just remember with the new coarse the stay away from that old specific ****e . they'll ask why rahter than how, big tip for later irish is how did the treaty lead to civil war, you may have had it on your mocks, also remember muss has never been up in the euro section, nor has church state or prop. gud luck

Corruptedmorals

History isn't that predictable..there;s only 2 past exams to go by. And besides, it's not the topics that could screw you over, but the marking.

lukeg06

wat are u talking about. you two year point makes no sense then. Whos to say if its predictable or not????? since its only been going two years. wait an see, if theres repition of any of the previous exam questions id be very surprised. though by the way everyone whos reading this dont listen to all this vietnam crap, i wouldnt rely on it, there not much in it, learn all three case studies. oh an back to my first point. everyone knows theres to much in the history coarse to learn all of it. predictable or not id rather take my chances learning stuff that hasnt come up.

Repitition, and their already has been repeats in the first two years (Jarrow par example) and of course if you stare at the '07 exam you will see it was actually quiet abstract and parts repeated. History is an impossible exam (4 text books and a strict time limit making it both a physical and mental trial)

Will Stalin,Hitlers foreign policy and Nazi party suffice for that section?

Cumman na ngaehdeal anyone?

boobookitty

Well, since last years paper was a bitch, hopefully this will be easier.

We're also doing Topic 5 ireland which only 10% of Ireland does plus it is it's last year on the course (It will be the document question next year) Can't wait!

I'd be over the moon if I had to do:

Vietnam
Sinn Fein 1918
Pop Culture
Coleraine Controversy!
