PLEZZ CAN U HELP ME AND GIVE ME INFO ON NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE REASON FOR BLOODY SUNDAY TAKING PLACE WITH DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr Field]

Firstly please make sure you have read and understand the forum rules (link at the top). We cannot give specific help for coursework.

Secondly, please don't use capitals when making a request, it makes it seem like you are shouting.

However, in answer to your request you can find out about Bloody Sunday very easily by doing a web search.

These sites were easily found:
http://larkspirit.com/bloodysunday/
http://www.bloody-su...inquiry.org.uk/ (recent report)
http://www.bloodysundaytrust.org/
http://www.geocities...72/history.html
http://www.guardian.co.uk/bloodysunday/fla...,184944,00.html (great Flash presentation).

There is also a great deal more available online.

It is your job to examine the different interpretations and the sites above will help you do that.

Please Help!

I'm on a half term break at the minute and am supposed to hand in a GCSE coursework essay in next Wednesday. I' doing the AQA board and have been given a booklet with 11 sources, which i need to answer the questions.

Unfortunately, my booklet is photocopied and Source 3, a map of Derry is unreadable so i cannot analyse it in much detail.

As i cannot see my teacher in half term and my coursework is due in soon after we go back to school, is there anywhere online that i can access some AQA resources, specifically Source 3, the map, or will i have to make do without being able to read the labels.

Thanks to any answers

Can't find the sources on the web - have asked on the Teachers' Forum.

Have you come across this site - http://www.education...loodysunday.htm

Check this link, i think that it might be the same source that edexcel use. i know the figures are not so clear but they are also shown in the source which is just figures.

The map illustrates how gerrymandering works doesn't it? Assuming my memory serves me correctly, the image illustrates the number of voters, their background and the number of councilors they elect. Like my coleagues I can't find a copy of the image online but these are the figures it is based on:

Ward Voters Catholics Protestants Councillors
South Ward 11185 10047 1138 8 Nationalists
North Ward 6476 2530 3946 8 Unionists
Waterside Ward 5549 1852 3697 4 Unionists

Not sure how useful this link will be to you, but there's an outline of a teaching strategy that I used when teaching this along with some graphics that illustrate the key points on this page.

The events that occurred in Derry on 30th Jan 1972 became known as 'Bloody Sunday'. Why have these events produced such different historical interpretations?
And I have some sources to analyse but for the introduction I need to talk about Internment, and I can not find any web pages on it, if you know of any please could you reply

Thankyouu x

[MrJohnDClare]

I suspect this will be more than you need on the introduction of internment itself.

What I suspect you need to know is the results of internment.
There is a little here.
Ans there is a little more towards the bottom of this page.

The main point for your essay, of course, is that the march on Bloody Sunday was a NICRA march against internment.

As part of your conclusion you might mention that the official British government report into the events of 1972, the Saville report, has still not been published. It is due before the end of this year and, for some, may give partial resolution of Ireland's bloody recent history.

See the Telegraph's report from 2008:

Bloody Sunday report delayed by another year, says Lord Saville - Telegraph
