Yep there are - Sean lemass & Michael Collins (and James Connolly?)
Go through your papers and book info on her can be a bit wishy washy

No, there are people in history questions for irish political history

ImNeil · 19-05-2014 06:00PM

Both history teachers in my school came up with these :
People in history -archaeologists , roman , farmer in ancient Ireland ,settler, factory worker and revolutionary leader in 20th century I.e. Michael Collins
And q5 : explorations or revolutions

'Roman' can't be asked as the syllabus does not specify Rome. 'A person living in a named civilisation outside Ireland' is usually how it is phrased. Someone could answer on Greece or Egypt.

I would presume "A Settler Who Came To Ireland During a Named Plantation", implying, the chapter would be "The Plantations."

Thats what i thought at first but wasn't sure. I'd be really happy with archaeologist, plantation settler and american revolution leader to come up

MRledzepo · 20-05-2014 11:04PM

if anyone wants a few easy people in histories to learn off I found a planter , monk , luther (you can learn calvin in about 10 minutes after learning luther) and a patrician

Manutd_4life · 25-05-2014 10:26AM

Do people have any predictions for Question 6(C), the Irish history question. Like what accounts may come up etc

Just on the 'named plantation' bit. They would expect you to name the Plantation. If you are speaking about Ulster, say it is Ulster. Don't say you are going to talk about Laois/Offaly and then give information which is more relevant to Ulster.

Most people usually go for the Ulster one, as it was the most successful out of the other plantations and there is more info on the course about it

They don't always remember to name it.

Does anyone here know what to put in an account of the Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland as part of Q.6(C)? The e-xamit answer seems too short :S

missdons · 09-06-2014 04:22PM

what people in historys should i learn for ol history on wednesday i've decided to drop because i missed a lot of school this past year and alot of the 3rd year course
what do you predict will come up?

eoingreaney · 09-06-2014 05:20PM

Any help would do ???

luimneachabu · 09-06-2014 06:07PM

our teacher said the revolutions is likely to come up for history long question 5

Msrebeckyxo · 09-06-2014 06:20PM

My whole class reckons for French, we'll get a note as it hasn't come up in years, but just go over a postcard just in case! And my teacher thinks the Revolutions will come up in History! Also we think some Irish history might come up but again dont go by any of what I'm saying as theyre just predictions!

A note came up last year, I thought?

Caveat_Emptor · 09-06-2014 07:43PM

How many of these should I learn? I currently know:
George Washington
Ulster Plantation
Christopher Columbus
Martin Luther
Shakespeare
DaVinci
Michelangelo
King Henry VIII

I thought this was enough for mocks but annoyingly NONE of these came up. I have since learned Historian, but I don't want to lose 40 marks again

Should these cover me or should I learn more?
I'm definitely not doing history for leaving if it's this bad for junior cert.

Mr Rhode Island Red · 09-06-2014 07:44PM

A named reformer (luther) and a named explorer (columbus/magellan) both came up last year in people in history, and our teacher said that it's unlikely we'll see them this year, but they may appear in other parts of the paper

Liordi · 09-06-2014 07:50PM

Chances are neither Chris. Columbus or Martin Luther will come up as they both came up last year.
I'd recommend learning off: Ancient Civilization (i.e Romans) & Michael Collins.

I'd learn ancient civilisation as well.

@VG
Not sure about Shakespeare but King Henry VIII counts as a reformer

Mr Rhode Island Red · 09-06-2014 08:01PM

There's no need to learn off Michaelanglo and Da Vinci. They could both be classed as Renaissance artists, so just one would be enough

Oh ok, but Luther is enough anyway.
