History: The united states

Iceboy

Anyone have any good predictions on whats coming up on topic 6 United States? Havn't done much on this topic and could use some tips

Consesus and collapse, Vietnam, Economic bust, Civil Rights/Montgomery, American Foreign Policy. The Moon Landing came up last year but there is a possibilty it could come up again seeing as the anniversary was this year (50 years I think.) Im covering everything bar affluent society and technology and cold war, but if you ask me the first ones I mentioned are the most likely...I hope! :P

Detente
MBB and its significance in the CR movement
Collapse of consensus
McCarthyism/Red scare


What im thinking anyway

Yes it was in 2009.
As much as I would LOVE the moon landing to come up (because I know it so well) I doubt it will myself.
My teacher has been advising us all year to leave it at the back of our revision, simply because it came up last year.
I'd say spend a fair bit of time on the Civil Rights Movement and/ the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Maybe consensus, contribution of Norman Mailer and/ Betty Friedan.
LBJ came up last year but we may get a question directly on the Vietnam war.
McCarthyism/Foreign Policy, not so sure about these topics but they could come up.
Try and focus on topics your ok at first to get started, then pick the most boring topic to get it out of the way and carry on from there.

I completely second this. All of it.

I'd put in counter-culture/multi-culturalism/youth culture as well though.
