CCEA A2 History

Hi everyone...is anyone out there doing CCEA A2 history (especially the partition of ireland) The book that we have been given is absolutely rubbish and I have looked everywhere for quotes! Has anyone got an tips on where I should look? :/

You talking about A22? The source paper 1900-1925?

Hey, I recommend getting the revision book, I got mine from Amazon, it's pretty good quote wise. Is your textbook Russell Ress's one? I haven't even started looking at it yet lol.

Yea, we have his textbook! It literally wrecks my head so I don't plan on revising from it! Do you just plan on learning quotes from the revision book then?

Get the one CCEA has actually written its a but more manageable.
Does your teacher not give you the quotes? There are quite a few in the textbook you could just learn off plus you don't need to know that many in comparison to A21!

Nope, when he actually turns up for class, he tells us that it's up to us to find quotes :/ Is that just the revision guide? What topic are you doing for A21? I'm doing the clash of ideologies!

Ah I done Ireland unionism and nationalism for as1.
Yea the 'ccea student unit guide' it is, gives you examples and stuff at the back aswell as the the notes. It is the best thing to get in my opinion, our school give them to us so we didn't have to buy them.
And gives quite a lot of quotes as well.

Is one of the ccea books for A22 not written by H.A Jefferies?? Its one of the ones on the Partition of Ireland... He's my teacher and the books actually really good

I can't do the early section on home rule despite it being guarenteed to come up in some form or another


I'm repeating the Clash of Ideologies paper in the morning - should be fun !

Is everyone expecting Home Rule to come up as the sources for this paper? My teacher told us to focus on that and for the essay Easter Rising 1916 and Sinn Fein as either will be up if Home Rules sources

Had Clash of Ideologies this morning, it was a really nice question - so relieved

It's the quotes ... How many there are that are gonna get me "/
Wouldn't worry too much there's always the other essay question :P

I get so confused with all of them! :L how many quotes do you actually intend to learn? Also do you think there is any chance of the Free State coming up or an essay solely on the Government of Ireland Act? Completely dreading this exam

Sames! I'm planning to learn all of home rule ones defo, and as many of the others as my brain can contain! :P
I'm really hoping home rule as an essay! :L
I really hope not!
Any of your teachers speculated on what they think?

Yea I really want home rule too, like why unionists opposed it, or fall of IPP, if anything else comes up as an essay I'm screwed! :L Nope we're lucky if our Irish history teacher turns up to class, never mind actually helping us! :/ He has warned us though that there is a possibility that one of the essays could be on the Irish Free State For the source questions do you usually write more for the second one? Because every time I've done the source questions I write more for the first one and I don't think your supposed to
