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

cailin_donn · 07-06-2010 1:07am

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 · 07-06-2010 11:10am

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.

Tony1130 · 07-06-2010 1:00pm

Good luck to u all in the LC

Mweelrea · 07-06-2010 10:52pm

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.

jenjenxx · 08-06-2010 12:09am

theowen · 08-06-2010 12:21am

Has Jarrow ever come up?

Rothmans · 08-06-2010 12:34am

It's come up pretty much every year in some form or other

jenjenxx · 08-06-2010 12:21pm

people say it cant come up 4 da fifth year in a row, but id put money on jarrow coming up again, and its a nice essay too!

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 · 08-06-2010 2:10pm

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 · 13-06-2010 11:42am

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. · 13-06-2010 12:24pm

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 · 13-06-2010 12:36pm

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.

brianw1 · 13-06-2010 12:52pm

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

zam · 13-06-2010 12:54pm

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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

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

ok i know the answer is probs no
but is this enough to cover the irish book???
rise of election of sinn fein
finna fail economy

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
