PAPER 3, OPTION 36.2: IRELAND AND THE UNION, C1774–1923

INTRODUCTION

This document provides a sample scheme of work for Option 36.2 Ireland and the Union, c1774–1923 that should be adapted by centres to fit their timetabling and staffing arrangements. It is meant as an example approach only and is not intended to be prescriptive.

The scheme assumes 19 teaching weeks for Paper 3. Centres may choose to teach Paper 3 in Year 12, to start Paper 3 at the end of Year 12, to teach Paper 3 at the start of Year 13 or to teach it after the coursework has been completed. The separate course planner document provides a range of examples of delivery options that can be used for planning alongside this document.

Two possible approaches to delivering Paper 3 are given below, one which starts with a broad overview of the topic and covers the themes, before returning to look at the aspects in depth; and one which does the aspects in depth first then returns to do an overview of the period using the themes. Departments will decide which approach works best for them.

Breadth then depth

This approach begins with a broad overview of the topic. It covers all the main themes first so that students can contextualise the later depth topics. It then returns and looks at the different aspects in depth.
