I think Hitler has came up before, he did on our mocks anyway.
Struggle for Irish independence is usually referred to as "write about a leader who struggled for irish independence between <dates>"

Will you be able to choose which revolution to write about or is that possible? :S Like how would the question be asked?

I've looked around and can't seem to find a few essays I want to study for tomorrow.

I've looked through the forums for: Michael Collins, Sean Lemass, Person living in the famine in Ireland & a person who received land during a plantation in Ireland (Ulster).

Does anyone have any of these essays? Would be really helpful.

Thanks

Samdublinn

I managed to find the Sean Lemass one for anyone who needed it aswell:

A named political leader in the Republic of Ireland during the period 1960-1985

Sean Lemass was a very important Irish political leader in the 1960s. Lemass was born in Dublin and took part in the 1916 rising and the War of Independence. He was one of the founding members of Fianna Fail in 1926. He served as Minister for Industry and Commerce in the first Fianna Fail government of 1932.

During the war years of 1939-1945 he served as Minister for Supplies and was in charge of rationing, price controls etc. In the 1960s he got the important position of Taoiseach and leader of FF upon the retirement of De Valera. His primary goal was to modernise Ireland and create jobs through massive foreign investment. He was totally in favour of the IDA giving grants to foreign companies to set up in Ireland.

Lemass also supported the idea of Irish troops serving on UN missions. He supported the setting up of a national TV station - RTE in 1962. He was also the very first Irish leader to hold meetings with the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland as he was very interested in promoting co-operation between North and South in economy, tourism etc.

Also found the Ulster Plantation person one:


(iii) A settler who received land during a named Plantation

My name is John Henderson and I was born in Scotland. I belong to the local Presbyterian Church. I have always been very loyal to the King and because of that I came to settle in Ulster in 1622. The reason I came was because I was a Servitor and that means I used to be a soldier in the King’s army. The King owed me money for my services to the country. For payment I was given a 1000-acre estate in County Fermanagh.

When I came to Ulster I had to follow certain very important rules. I had to pay a rent of £8 per year and I had to build a house of stone. I then had to surround the house with a bawn (stone wall). I was allowed to rent parts of the land and have some Irish tenants. My new home in Ulster was a large 2-storey stone and timber house and the roof was made of slate. The chimney was built of red brick and my house was very different from the houses of the native Irish, which were much smaller and had thatch roofs.

I began to farm the land that I was given and I had to clear large areas of forest and drain the land. I began to grow lots of crops and one of these crops, potatoes, was new to the area. I also surrounded my land with lots of fences and ditches.

I often visit the local town called Enniskillen because lots of people from my native land of Scotland have settled there. Many different craftsmen live there so I go there to buy tools and to have repairs done. The town was specially planned and it has wide, straight streets. There is a central Square and important buildings such as the Court House, Market House and Presbyterian Church are all located there. Markets are held in the town every Friday. When I go there I notice that nearly everyone speaks English now and the English system of law is now the law of the land.

It's great if you can learn off answers that long, but they're all WAY over what you need to get full marks.

Got it thanks!

Just 10 points is enough right?

The marks are 20 per answer - 16 - made up of 8 SRSs at 2 marks each and then there is an overall mark of between 0 and 4.
If you have 8 SRSs you will get the full 4 overall marks.

SRS - significant relevant statement.

edit**sorry I misunderstood.
See the thread I linked to above and count the number of statements in each answer. You will see that most of them are way above the 8 needed.

You only need 8 points to get full marks in PiH, right?
Most of the ones I've learned of have like 20..

I'd revise short questions if you can, handy way to pick up 20 marks.

The corrector will mark them all, but you get no more marks after 8 SRSs. It's always useful to have a couple of extra ones, but correcting three long pages of statements for a 20 marks answer gets tiresome after a while.

If I had 10 SRS, but only got half way through the person's life, would I still get full marks?

Yep, 8 points. They have 20 to ensure full marks, it's safer to learn all 20 and pick the ones you remember!

Yes, you could sum up quickly in a few lines at the end. Very few people spent their whole life doing important things. Most are more active in early, middle or later life. Concentrate on the important stuff.

Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, rather than Michelangelo broke some bloke's nose in a fight.

No, leave them as they are. You have well over the required amount and you will have plenty of time in History. Don't stress yourself by trying to edit them now.

Would it be worth it to do more than one question when there is a choice?

If you've finished the rest of the paper and have time, but unless you've made a bags of one question it's not necessary.

Is the Berlin Blockade enough to learn or should I learn the Cuban Missile Crisi just to be on the safe side. Really trying to filter out the unimportant stuff and prioritise what is important at the moment.

Yeah, they usually ask all 3 and write an account on one, but it would hurt to look over the Cuban missile crisis to be sure !

Our teacher recommended we learn two because in 2011 there was only a choice between two and you don't want to be caught out if the Berlin Blockade doesn't appear...:)

In most cases, you can divide chapters up in to sections, the three C's, Causes, Course, and Consequence. It's a handy tip to have if you want to structure your notes etc. So when you're finished a chapter ask yourself, "Do I know why it happened?", "Do I know what happened?", "Do I know the aftermath of what happened?". If you can answer all three of these questions with some detail, you're doing very well for yourself! Good luck to all

I have had a riddiculously bad history teacher the past 3 years. I have done my best these years trying to cover the course as much as I can myself. After stressing out all evening im giving up and retiring to some hot chocolate. Lads just give everything your best shot and BSing will get us through the rest of it. Best of luck to everyone and anyhow tis only the junior cert....

Does anybody have essays for Revolutions on Q.5? E.g. Causes of the French Revolution, causes of 1798 rebellion, impact of American or French Revolution on Ireland, reasons for failure of 1798 rebellion and consequences of the 1798 rebellion?

I only know causes of the American revolution and the terror during the French Revolution. How many more of the above should I learn? And essays would be greatly appreciated!
