For geography, if you're doing geoecology then learn your biome well.

Physical, learn essays on one landform (mine is a cirque), interaction with natural process (mine is mainly river rhine), one of quarrying, mining etc., formation of landscape (karst or other) and know tectonics well.

Regional, know primary, secondary and tertiary for an Irish Region (Mine is Dublin), a European region (Paris), and a subcontinental/continental region (India). Maybe learn about the growth of a city, Dublin, Paris etc., and a cultural region e.g. the Gaeltacht or Division in Belgium.

I'd buy the book Exam Skills Geography, it has basically every sample answer you need.

Well I don't do that later European section but I'd say you'd be grand with that.

In terms of study now I am just doing everthing on Fianna Fáil and Cumann na nGaedhael from 1923 to 1945, because there has been a question on that every year. If worst comes to worst, I already have a pretty good knowledge of the 1916 rising, War of Independence and Civil War and may be able to get by in the exam. But I'd be surprised if something on CnaG didn't come up.

As for European...I'm going to mainly focus on the rise of Fascism and Nazism, and Hitler's foreign policy. I'll also know the whole Communism chapter just for cover. I'm definitely not doing a question with Britain in it or one on technology of war.



And just foreign policy and domestic factors affecting it for America. I'm considering learning something on Johnson's domestic policies and maybe Truman aswell. There's not all that much to learn and will help in a personality question. Not touching civil rights, consumerism or any of those other ones though.

Just wondering lads, what sort of info should be contained in a Theme or issue answer. My texts are Lies of Silence, Dancing at Lughnasa and Il postino. Will the length of a Theme or Issue by shorter than say for example a cultural context answer.

Those are the same texts I'm studying.

For theme and issue you choose you theme and discuss it under the headings Introduction, development, complication and resolution.

For Cultural context my headings are Family, class structure, religion, violence, effects of poverty and the roles of men and women.

My cultural context essay is shorter than my theme or issue but thats probabaly only because I find it easier to write on

What theme are you doing? Il Postino is one of my texts as well, but all I have according to your headings is introduction, complication, resolution. I don't really have a development. If something on key moments doesn't come up in theme and issue, I'm screwed!

Alot of people seem to be talking about Anti Semitism as a full essay question? I literally only have a paragraph on that in our history book

Lactobacillus

Anyone thinking that possibly a long Question on Sensory Analysis could appear as it hasn't been up in a while?? In Home Ec!!

LC2010HIS

Hey guys,

Anti Semitism in Nazis Germany:

- Introduction :
Anti Semitism played a major role in nazi policy in 1933-1945. With the use of propaganda and Hitlers' showmanship, he managed to enlarge and maintain power. The supression of jews sent streams of German refugees into exile and alienation. Hitlers actions concerning the jewish population was the most horrific and inhuman acts ever seen in Europe to date.

P 1 - Nazi ideas/racialism
(Hitlers ideas - Aryan master race, superior, jews inferior, "Jew is a parasite...." ,Jews were blamed for ww1, great depression etc etc (general)

P 2 - Persecution begins - 1933
Hitler and nazis NOW fully in power.
Started by excluding them - say how - boycotts, attacks

P 3 Systematic Persecution - 1935
How Hitlers rules against jews were more severe - banned from German life
Nuremberg laws @ the rally - 1935

P4 Kristallnacht - 1938
Berlin Olympics, Worst oppression : Night of the crystal glass 1938 (the polish jew murdered a official in german embassy in paris, describe events)

P5 Final Solution/Holocaust 1939
Jews emmigrated, jews sent to concentration camps
from 1942 - final solution (describe the happenings eg, fit seperated from unfit, poisioned, human experiments

P 6 Conclusion
Figures of how many died
Analysis - "...Most horrifying actions ever taken in the 20th century"

Result: 96%



-Hope this helps !

I don't know what topics you're doing. I assume you're doing Late Modern and not Early Modern. We're doing America, Dictatorship and Democracy, Sovereignity and Partition and the Northern Ireland one for the document.

Not Eucharistic Congress that much that's for sure.

All the case studies (obviously) eg. Belfast, Jarrow March
Stalin and Lenin's Russia
USSR's role in the war
Britain's role in the war/Britain during the war
The Treaty Commission/The Treaty (1921? I think. Don't have my notes on me.)
JJ McElligott and how FF and Cumann na nGaedhael tackled Ireland's economic situation.
Vietnam... not so much though.
Reagan's role as President
Civil Rights Movement
Montgomery Bus Boycott
Counter-culture, youth culture, multi-culturalism
Economic bust in the US
Cold War
Changes in Technology (wouldn't come up by itself though...)
Red Scare/McCarthyism


You can't really narrow down history that much though. :rolleyes: I basically just typed out everything that wasn't up last year. Dictatorship and Democracy no one is quite sure of though. American everyone thinks it's going to be Montgomery/Civil Rights. Ireland ... it's really a toss up but hopefully it's going to be the Treaty.

Id nearly say:

Pursuit of S & P:
1. belfast blitz
2. cumann na geadhael and free state
3. anglo irish treaty and civil war
4. culture north & south

Dictatorship & Democracy:
1. Lenin and russia
2. WW2 (propaganda or anti-semitism)
3. france and third republic
4. britains economic depression/jarrow crusade

America & wider word:
1. urban poverty & drugs crimes/montgomerybus boycott
2. vietnam
3.advances in space, military and technology
4. key personality (i think reagan mite be it but dunno)

thats what i think but dont take my word for it!!!!

squishness

I doubt Reagan would be up again! His successes/failures came up in 06. Maybe Truman though. Here's hoping for Consensus/counter-culture/economic bust/religion/mass media/higher education.

I would be so happy if the Blitz and the Anglo-Irish Treaty came up. I'd cry from happiness.

Also: Hitler. I can't see how something on Hitler couldn't come up. Propaganda/anti-semitism/consolidation of power.

Anything except Sunningdale would be great too.

Are people learning Sunningdale? Cause my teacher told us not to even think about it but I don't know of that's taking a risk... A small one I suppose but still...

LC2010HIS

Whats up with all the Coleraine predictions?

Why are people so sure like...?
