Leaving Cert History 2010

cweeva

Ok so I don't think this thread is anywhere... I'm new to this so if it it just point me in the direction:)

Basically I'm wondering...
what are peoples predictions for the history exam in 2010?
I love history... but the course is very very overwhelming!
And also, what way are people approaching it? Learning essays... learning case studies... learning key personalities????

What has a better chance of coming up Montgomery BB or Advancements in technology??

Technology with space race. Montgomery came up as the document last year.

i actually hate sovereignty and partition

my essays are from fourth year and are therefore extremely terrible!! my one on the eucharistic congress is just going on and on about banners and bunting and flags and how awesome the place looked... hahahaha..oh im fuuucked.

cailin_donn

a few people are predicitng US economy BUT, is the CAUSES of the boom or the SOCIAL EFFECTS of the boom more likely to come up? because we only ever did an essay on effects...

Also, for the rest of the course I'm doing
Sov&Part:
Sinn Fein, why 1916 failed, why Treaty negotiations failed, CnaG and FF economy

USA:
Civil Rights, Vietnam (why in&why out), social effects of post war boom and collapse of consensus

Dict&Dem:
Anglo-American Pop culture, how stalin maintained control through terror&propaganda, church-state relations and i havent picked a 4th yet. maybe how mussolini came to power

Sorry about this but what do you mean by the basics of fascism and communism? Are you doing every fascist state and Russia too?

I'm trying to cut it down so was just going to do:
Britain between the wars including Jarrow

Nazi use of propaganda & Nuremberg rallies

Mussolini rise to power and policies

Church-state relations and the final solution

I think I'm doing this too. I tried to learn Lenin and Stalin, I really did... But I just can't remember it... there's no point going against the brain :P

well there has been alot of talk about mussolini coming up but i cant imagine him coming up on his own i would reccomend studying cult of personality and propaganda. i think he will come up in a more comparative type question eg,How Succesful were Stalin in russia and mussolini in italy in using The personality cult an instrument of propaganda.
btw i think your choices to cut it down are spot on

i will be studying
.us foreign policy based on vietnam (never come up b4)
Race relation

.britain during the interwar period linked with jarrow
basics of fasicm and communism

.Cumann nG government 1923-1932 with aspects of finna fail
eucharistic congress
and if i get time sinn fein general election 1918

lads other dan the sunningdale wat is comin up on the document? also has any1 got any links which are gd becoz i dnt have that book. what are the most likely questions for sunningdale?

also for irish i know anglo-irish relations and cumann na ngael/ for early european i know bismark and for european later i know mussolini and stalin will i be a ok on the day?

Other than Sunningdale there is Apprentice Boys and Coleraine University Controversy. Whatever you do don't just study Sunningdale because yeh it appears to be the most important one but the other two could also appear. For the mocks the question was why did Sunningdale fail?

S&P: CnG and FF have been tipped.
Some are saying Sinn Fein 1918
Treaty

D&D: This is the one I'm most worried about out of my 3.
Mussolini has been talked about
If you're doing Stalin do the show trials because they're case study
Try to get another case study done like Jarrow or Belfast

Don't have a clue about the other one sorry I don't do that book but the thing to do seems to be to cover as many case studies as you can with the background info in the chapter they're in and then do whatever else you have time left over for.

well it'll be either sunningdale, coleraine university or apprentice boys for the document!
and for the sunningdale questions i have mine basically divided into two,
>the formation of the executive
>the causes of the failure of the executive!

for sov&par, im gonna do the treaty neg. the belfast blitz and eucharistic congress..i did a cosgrave essay too for the pres and it was good however im havin trouble making it short enough to write in fourty minutes!! have a look around the website for essays on the topics..really they're good summaries for like reading in bed the night before the exam!!!

for dic and democracy ill prob do as much as possible..iv general ideas about all the essays but nothni in specific detail with loads of quotes....however would LOVE lenin to come up!!

im not doing america, our class is doing div& realignment!! for this im doing gorbachev, cold war, hungarian uprising, vatican 2 and like women, marriage, family..just in case that comes up with the church!!

ALSO!!! GUYS IM REAALY CONFUSED....do we get the extra 20 minutes or what?? have any of ye heard of this? its on the official timetable!!

http://www.allhonours.ie/leaving-certificate-timetable-2010/

see point two on the left hand side...does that mean we get 3.10 instead of 2.50???? my teacher didnt know and another teacher said she thinks its only for like people who have scribes......?

Hey welcome to boards.ie!
Thanks so much for that link. It looks fab such a pity I didn't have it in 5th year lol
Yeh I'm freaking out for history, looks like you're doing most of the same topics as me. Fingers crossed for the two of us.
I'm gonna concentrate on the case studies, Dictatorship and Democracy is definitely my weakest point though.

Not sure about the new times! Will be great for english and history!

Good luck with the study anyway!

Nope, that extra 20 minutes was brought in a few years ago i think, we get 2.50!

so for D&D i have Mussolini, (no church state realations though) german - Hitlers rise, domestic and foreign, Stalin and Show Triails, Britain and Jarrow, Popculture in the US and Britain, maybe anti semitism, propaganda and nuremburg rallies, rise of fascism.
Left out france, world war 2, Lenin completely here..

America I'm really just focusing on the case studies and their context.. Moon Landings IT and Military Technology, Foreign Policy 1945-1968, 1968-1989, Vietnam, successes and failures of LBJ. Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King, Montgomery.

and Irish Social and political reform up to 1914 : Land Issue, Home Rule under Butt, Parnell and Redmond (focusing mainly on Redmond though) the women's movement, constructive unionism, the cultural revival, the 1885 and 1886 elections.

Does it sound ok?? I'm most worried about America:rolleyes:
