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????

Role of woman aswell, education is likely but i just dont have time to do it:rolleyes:
i have home rule done, focusing mainly on the elections and home rule under redmond!
and constructive unionism, it's never come up, i'm hoping for that one!
and bitta the cultural revival aswell seeing as there was no culture last year!

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

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

LNags

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.

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

Good luck to u all in the LC

Just a quick question in relation to the essay's in the exam. A friend of mine heard that you need to quotes as part of your essay and that you need more sources than just the history book. Is this true ? Personally i'm not so sure but if it is then my history teacher has really left us in the dark.

Thanks.

Their is nothing more they can ask on it... Making it highly unlikely to come up.

D+D: Facist Regimes, Anglo American ( please god...!!!) Nuremberg Rallies, Church State Relations, anti Semitidm.

USA: Vietnam why and how, montogomery plus troubled affluence/racial conflict, moon landing plus advancements, cold war tensions

SOV: EC and broader, 1916 rising, Belfast case study plus broader... And another I can't think of!

NI book: everything. But I don't have essays done one cultural significance of ABOD and steps to sunningdales establishment. If anyone has notes a sample answer or paragraph points I can use to make up my essay let me know please!!!

Tony1130

I'd recommend studying Lenin & Stalin plus show trials i guarantee its coming up in some form along with germany + italy & jarrow march

For the irish book anglo irish relations hasnt come up in a while & factors tht contribute to partition from 1912 also .. and of course Eucharistic Congress!

Us Foreign and domestic should pretty much cover u unless they throw up a question on a president or sumtin.. Come on Vietnam and McCarthyism

MarkDurc

reckon il b safe with this:

Sov and Par:

Anglo Irish Relations 1923-1945
Eucharistic + Lan. Edu. Rel
WW2 North and South + Belfast
Treaty + Civil War
and maybe Partition for backup

Dic and Dem:

Mussolini(to a tee)
Stalin + Russia(not Lenin)
Hitler(consolidating power and establishing totalitarian regime, propaganda, characteristics of nazi state)
Britain Soc/Eco problems

USA:

Montgomery
US Foreign Policy(both periods)
Vietnam

Victoria.

I'm studying all of my D+D topics today

Was going to do:

Stalin purges and show trials
Jarrow
Nuremberg and Nazi propaganda
Weimer and Hitler to power (that's all nothing about Hitler Germany)
Vichy collaboration & resistance
Church state Germany and Italy
The Final Solution

That's all I have time to do now.
Hope it will be enough.
I'm the worst procrastinator ever.

dodgystuff

I have zero time for History study

So I've cut it down to this:

SOV: Sinn Fein 1918 Election; Fianna Fail and CnaG Economic/Foreign Policies and consolidation of democracy for CnaG

DIV&REALIGNMENT: EEC; Second Vatican Council; Hungarian Uprising

D+D: (this is the one I'm most worried about so I'd appreciate any suggestions to do other things)
I've done:
Anti Semitism
Nazi Propaganda
Mussolini coming to power and consolidation of democracy
Stalin Show Trials/Use Of Terror
Characteristics Of Fascist/Dictator Regimes

Should I do something on Church state relations?

For the documents I'm gonna do Sunningdale & Coleraine in detail and then roughly ABODs. There's a very slim chance of that coming up.

can somebody answer these few questions for me, much appreciated

1) Alot of people are goin on about pop culture coming up, I know the anglo american pop culture essay but im certain thats in the 1920s and 1930s

what would you basically put into a pop culture essay thats set around the 50s and 60s...or is this even possible to come up?

2) what does subjective and objective mean

3) I know cng ff, jarrow, rise of fascism, vietnam and 1918 GE. going to learn improvements in intechnology and anti semetism today

are there any other massivly tipped essays that i have left out?

Here everyone - don't cut corners with the document. Don't just learn Sunningdale. Sure, focus on it, but for God's sake learn all three! Have enough to write 2~ pages on it... You really are just throwing away marks if you don't learn all three...

Economic war with britain and Eucharistic Congress could show up. Montgomery/racism is good to know aswell.

I'd say it's a flip a coin sort of thing really
