Our teacher told us to make them up if we can't remember them, and that we'd be fine as long as they were vaguely right.

I wouldn't.

If I was correcting I'd be much happier to see an accurate statement of fact, without detailed numbers, than an inaccurate set of numbers.

Getting a figure wrong makes a bad impression.
Not mentioning a figure makes no impression in that regard.
Go for the lesser of the evils! And remember, a good general grasp of the facts and sensible accompanying analysis is far more appealing than a litany of numbers (some of which may be incorrect).

If anyone has an outline plan for :

"Compare and contrast the economic policies of Fianna Fail and Cumann na nGaedheal"

could they please put it up. Thanks! I have no idea how to structure that type of essay.

Concentrate at this late stage on the case studies and only the case studies.

For this question deal with C na G first and then FF. The last paragraph then can be used to compare the two polices.

Plan:

C na G.
1. Economic realities (country ravaged by civil war, affected by global events), Aims of C na G - 'balance the books', finance minister Ernst Blythe
2. Agriculture - main priority of the Gov - mention agr. minister
3. Industry - Shannon Scheme

FF
4. Economic aims - protectionism, Sean McEntee - Finance Minister, James Ryan - Agr Minister, Sean Lemass - Industry and Commerce
5. The Economic War 1932 - 1938 - causes, the Coal-Cattle Pact and the 1938 Anglo-Irish Agreements, effects (maybe two paragraphs)*
6. Agriculture - switch to tillage farming, incentives
7. Industry - Lemass - protectionist
8. Social Policy - pensions to orphans, widows etc

9. Conclusion:

C na G laid foundations, affected by the Wall Street Crash.
FF - Economic War hurt farmers, social policy was much more generous than C na G. Then maybe give your own opinion on which was better but keep it to one short sentence.

*Note that the Economic War can be used for Anglo-Irish Relations and Economic Policy and a question on Dev so it's NB.

i agree........also remember that cumann na gaedhael were all for free trade in as much as possible, compared to the protectionism of FF. i would mention the influence that JJ McElligott and J Brennan had on government economic policy at this time also.

Killaqueen!!! · 08-06-2009 09:59PM

^^Thanks for that. I've never written a 'compare' type essay. When I see a question like that I just get thrown because I think I have to make loads of comparisons throughout. But if I do it as in your plan, CnG first, then FF, it's a grand essay to get.

Cheers

Yeah thanks a million, that's really really helpful!

I actually enjoy writing about Fianna Fail

ironictoaster · 09-06-2009 01:11PM

How much do you have to write for the document question? I don't have a clue how to answer it

Nerd :pac:

Yeah it's a grand essay to get, compare and contrast essays are generally a lot simpler than single-topic essays, if that makes sense :cool:

Doc question essay is about 2 pages - no time for an intro or big conclusion.

moneyman · 09-06-2009 01:18PM

Is it guaranteed that at least one case study will come up on each topic? Eg. If I decided to learn the 3 case studies from each book, I'd be guaranteed to be able to do an essay from each section?

Or is it just likely?

english4490 · 09-06-2009 01:22PM

i think its just that there tends to be a case study each year, but i dont think they have to according to the syllabus...kind of like english and the whole women poet thing! not 100% bout this though!:rolleyes:

From my mocks I did 2 pages for the document questions. The 5 markers only need a couple of lines, around 3-5 should do you

Right I'm gonna have this covered.

Irish 1:Rise of SF/Decline of HR party
War of Indepence
Cng/FF separately and eco policies together
Maybe Dev's neutrality to be safe?

Irish 2:1st and 2nd inter party gov's
Lemass
Catholic Church
Irish society 50's and 60's(not enough for q on its own)

Europe:Show Trials
Anti-Semitism with Hitler
Mussolini
France

Reckon I'll be grand?
