People in history questions!

The junior cert is fast approaching and is anyone VERY worried about history?
How many people in histories do you have learned off?
How many should we have learned?
So far I've learned Éamonn De Valera, James Connolly, Columbus and Martin Luther, which was a massive struggle! Haha my history teacher wasn't the greatest.

Learn a person living in ancient Rome and a person living in neolithic Ireland. That should cover you for Q4.

Yeah I think I'll try learn those and the monk, since that comes up nearly every second year. History is not fun!

History is one of my favourite subjects :rolleyes:. Have a visit at the "Junior Cert Prediction" thread if you want to know in greater detail what to study in history.

I wish I felt the same, the only bit I know really inside out is Irish history because I drilled it into my brain watching documentaries on it. Thanks, will do :-)

Wow, well done!:eek: I'd say you're looking forward to that exam to show off how much you know! I better get learning, my teacher didn't even finish the course with us so we didn't get to the cuban missile crisis. I suppose I'll be teaching myself hahaha

Nah I'm just really worried if I go in and I don't know an exam question. If you're teaching yourself don't bother doing "Northern Ireland 1920-1997" it never comes up

Nah you'll be grand, just by knowing you're people in histories you'll know most of the course already! Thanks for letting me know, I was putting that one off. Would you happen to know the most important events in ww2? My teacher just went through the blitz then left it.

Ah sure you'll be grand, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to get through the majority of the exam without having to do a 3rd year history question

Thing is, I had that teacher for 2nd year too. I done well in the mocks though, with a B but I think that was a total fluke. Ah well, when it's over I'll be wondering why I was worrying at all.

The ones in 2011 (except the 3rd year one) since every second year since 2006 all the questions repeat them every second year.

- A person living in a named ancient civilization OUTSIDE of Ireland.

- A monk in early Christian monastery in Ireland

- A named religious reformer at the time of the Reformation

- A named leader on a voyage during the Age of Exploration.

- A native Irish landowner in a named plantation during the 16th or 17th centuries.

I got 91% in the mock in history without studying and to be honest I'm worried that I won't get the A in the real thing. (Mainly worried about the P.I.H. Essays) What essays are you guys predicting to come up?

I learnt the Ulster Plantation from the book. How do I tweak that to describe a native Irish landowner in a plantation? Anyone got samples?

My name is Paddy. The English and Scottish soldiers came and took my land. I heard the English king gave the land to them for good service. They are bringing in new ways of farming and their religion and language. I had to move to the forests with my family. They call us woodkern. Every so often we raid our old farms and steal things.

etc.
