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

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

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

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

Any help would do ???

luimneachabu

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

Msrebeckyxo

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

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

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

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

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.
