Am I being very optimistic to think you might have a rough plan typed up? :rolleyes:

Hahaha.... Nice Try :P

But in all seriousness you will never be able to learn other peoples notes as you cannot directly relate to them, its to do with the way the human mind learns, everything we see, listen, hear is stored in our memories.
If we havent wrote up something then we have no direct relation to it.

Your better off doing up your own one.

Here's what I'm studying:

Pursuit of sovereignty:

1. Why Did Sinn Fein win 1918 election
2. Treaty negociations
3. Civil War
4. CnG economic policies
5. Eucharistic Congress
6. Michael Collins

N.I

1. Sunningdale Agreement
2. Apprentice Boys
3. Coleraine University Controversy
4. Civil Rights Movement

America

1. Vietnam
2. Montgomery Bus Boycott & civil rights movement
3. Cold War -McCarthyism, Red Scare, Cuban Missile Crisis, Space Race
4. Counter-Culture/ Consensus
5. Economic advancement -1945-1971

And of course the three damn withdrawal from empire questions.

If anyone has any input, then by all means blast away i.e - Which of these topics is more likely to come up, which came up last etc.

These are basically what I'm doing except for the American option we didn't cover Counter-Culture/ Consensus or Economic advancement -1945-1971 so I'm doing Foreign Policy and The Space Race instead I'd say we'll be covered from all angles with these

Currently debating with myself whether or not to do charges in the education system up to 1914.

It seems like a fairly unlikely topic but yet it'd be handy enough if it came up and I was stuck.. So much to consider :P

Does anyone think I'll be okay just learning Nazi Foreign Policy, Rise of Facism and Nazi Propaganda for Dictatorship and Democracy?

For rise of fascism, do you cover Hitler as well as Mussolini or just Mussolini.

Both really, I normally just start off by writing a bit about Mussolini and then talk about Hitler for the rest.

well lads, i was just flickin through the exam papers there and nearly gave myself a heart attack. It say for the Europe and the wider world section you have to answer on two topics but in the Ireland section you only have to answer one topic.:eek: Is this right? cause we have two Ireland topics done and only the us done for Europe and the wider world!!

No, that's last year and the year before - take a look at '09, that had the US as the document and that'll be the structure of ours (European document, but it wont be the US, in case you've another heart attack! )

Also for fascism I'd talk about the conditions then talk about them in both Germany and Italy, personally.

No - that was just for other years because obviously their document topic was an Irish topic. Everyone is studying 2 Irish topics and one Europe and Wider World topic.

Some sample history essays have been added to this website -

Going through past papers for Ireland question, a question regarding languge religion and education and eucharstic congress has come up in 06,08 and 10.
I am going to study that, anglo irish treaty,factors that contribute to partition and sinn fein 1918, say it will be a safe bet.

galwaymusic

What is the history course for next year?
as in what the current 5th years are studying? How much does it differ from what our current history course consists of..like what topics?

Canard

It doesnt at all, they're studying the same document book as us. If you repeat in another school they might do different core topics but you're free to answer on exactly the same things this year and next year, aside from having to redo your research topic.

Be careful with any question about language, culture, religion and the Eucharistic Congress. It can be difficult to interpret and understand what the Examiner is looking for and these essay questions tend to score lower than others. If it is a specific question about the Eucharistic Congress then it will be more straight forward.

You could have a look at a sample essay here specifically about the Eucharistic congress that doesn't include talking about language and culture.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but the 1912 Home Rule Bill is a big one this year for Pursuit of Sovereignity. It's the 100th anniversary of the Bill, so it's possible I think. Also the Eucharistic Congress, Michael Collins (the 90th anniversary of his death is coming up) and I also think that Ireland during WW2 is a possibility.

jmclee

For NI why are people doing o'neill vs brookeborough? that came up the last year NI was on?

Right here's me;
NI-

sunningdale
apprentice boys
coleraine
o neill
welfare state
ecumenism
downing street dec + Anglo Irish agreement Q
(some of those essays are crap though)

America-

Vietnam
Development of cold war
Foreign policy crises-Berlin Korea Cuba
Domestic policies affecting FP
Truman
Civil rights
Decline of cold war certainties
(would I be safe with these?)

Pursuit of sov-

FF general + Dev
Cng- setting state on firm foundations
Neutrality + WW2 impacts
Economic policies of cng and FF (I wouldn't be able to get a whole essay on only cngs eco. policies??)
Treaty causing civil war
Anglo Irish relations
Reasons for partition
3rd home rule bill
Rise of sinn fein

And all 3 docs, think yid be mad to leave one out..
Actually in relation to the docs all the questions on like which is a better source or just generally on sources is always complete waffle from me? Like I wing it on the day? We've never learned really how to analyse a source or why one might be a reliable etc.
I badly misinterpreted the cartoon for mocks, I discussed in depth how the people in the picture were old grey and hunched over to reflect how India had been under British rule for so long, turns out it had no relevance hahaha morto

Do you reckon I would be alright with only doing a GAA essay or should I do one where I compare the GAA and the Gaelic League?

Do one on the entire cultural nationalism, GAA, GL, and Anglo-Irish Literary revival.

If a general essay on cultural nationalism comes up ill do a sumbersault :L

I'd imagine a general essay would be really easy, since you could talk about maybe the GAA for half the essay and then the gaelic league and something else for the rest.

Im going for:
Sunningdale, Coleraine, Brooke & O'Neill
Propaganda in Germany / Italy, Terror for Stalin
Cosgrave, De Valera, Anglo-Irish relations
and of course India

However im not really too confident on Europe so ill probably have to tweak that somewhat

galwaymusic

I have a quick question. Just wondering take this for example

"How did race relations become a major issue in Britain and/or France in the period, 1945-1990?"

and/or

I've only done France. Is it necessary to do Britain? Because it says and. But then they say or as if it's an options ... Aggh! Will I lose marks if I only write about France?

No, if it's and/or then they cannot penalise you for writing about one.

Canard

Race relations in Britain? Are you looking at the document q's when it was a 100 mark section?

markgisme

I've picked three sections from each Topic.

Rise of the Sinn Fein Party
Anglo Irish Treaty
Successive Governments from 1922-39

Propaganda in Germany
Terror in Germany and Russia
The Rise of Hitler

Coleraine
Apprentice Boys
(Don't have a third :S, possibly O'Neill)

Why brooke and o neill? That was asked last time it was on

Also can someone please answer if an essay on just Cngs economic policies is manageable, I can only get a full one from comparing theirs with FFs policies
