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?

ty

1. I can't see them limiting the essay with dates.
2. Subjective means allowing you're personal feelings come into making a decision/being biased. E.g. if you're given a source by a unionist and he's criticizing the nationalists on something, you could say he's being subjective. Objective's the opposite.

3. The Churches in Germany and Italy. Rise of SF, Anglo-American popular culture.

I'd literally wet my self if they came up:rolleyes:

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.

Your friend heard wrong.Not true at all. You don't even need to quote, let alone use quotes from texts other than your history books

LeeLeepet · 13-06-2010 3:40pm

belfast world war 2,
sunningdale,
church state relations with fascist leaders,
vietnam

They are the soundest ones floating around. however NOT to be relied on - couldn't hurt to know them though. also CASE STUDIES.

Focus on the case studies

SEInvincible · 13-06-2010 8:12pm

I pretty much know Coleraine and the Ab's.

So i have a 66% chance of bein alright.

if sunningdale comes up i'll go crazy , havent a clue about it , well i havent studied it i mean. it's 6 pages long in less stress :Z

dodgystuff · 13-06-2010 8:17pm

My teacher was saying about the in-service things they had about the Document question.

She said they had one each for Coleraine and Sunningdale and then another one for all 3 but none for Apprentice Boys on its own so tbh it looks like it'd be the least likely to come up. I'm not saying leave it out though but personally, I'm concentrating on the other two.

I've 8 essays, and I'd be happy with either really:p

Perhaps the decline of the economy just because I got 93% in it.

repeat92 · 14-06-2010 12:10am

im repeatin this godforsaken leaving cert.. last yr i did a fairly good job of predicting history. i got an A1. after some intense analysis of the exam papers theres what i think

eucharistic congress( priests scandal) plus it didnt come up last yr
belfast ww2..

church state relations.( 100% sure its coming up as sean delap from leeson strt tipped it for last yr but didnt show so he said it has to come up this yr)

Why are you repeating history when you got an A1? Makes no sense lol

repeat92 · 14-06-2010 12:19am

ha just coz i got an A1 in history doesnt mean i did well in everything else.. i didnt get the points i wanted..

fufureida · 14-06-2010 12:19am

Hmmm... Priest scandal WTF???

repeat92 · 14-06-2010 12:22am

you know the whole priests thing that was in the media.. look you can either agree or disagree with my predictions. your choice..

You can't use last years points, so obviously he's counting on his history points.

Just learn 'Why it Failed'. I think thats the main question they ask really

RetroRainbow · 15-06-2010 12:40am

Thanks repeat92, that's a pretty helpful list. I'm repeating myself, just after taking up History as a new subject this year!

Victoria. · 15-06-2010 11:45am

I'm so nervous for tomorrow

French and history!

I'm going over the case studies today and the documents that's all I have time to do because I have to study for french as well.

neilquiksilver · 15-06-2010 5:18pm

im so screwed for this tomorrow i hope cumann na ngaedhael, pureges, church state relations, moonlanding nd boom in america come up im so screed if they dnt nd sunningdale of course

jenjenxx · 15-06-2010 9:14pm

HELP! totally 4got bot da documents, sunningdales grand, but wat could dey ask on coleraine ( da long part of it)
any1??

Tony1130 · 15-06-2010 9:31pm

I hope coleraine comes up cz its d easiest.. but the questions has to be fairly broad since its a fairly short document question and there doesnt seem to be much they can ask..so i'd just study it broadly but thts my opinion sry if im wrong .. same with abod too thts y Sunningdale has a better chance of coming up i guess

Just the events, a summary type question I suppose. Just write about the Robbins report as the precedent, the criteria used in choosing, Magee College, the outrage afterwards, the protests, the united prot/cath campaign and then a bit about the "nameless faceless men".

Mwah · 15-06-2010 10:07pm

You'd be really stretching it I'm afraid, you'd have to know it fairly inside out. I'm just going to do my usual shotgun approach and learn a bit of all the chapters and then fire it onto the page in wherever the info fits.

Mwah · 15-06-2010 10:24pm

:(
ok im gonna look over 1916 and home rule aswell

BrenosBolts91 · 15-06-2010 10:27pm
