    My teacher thinks;
    Clare Sa Spéir (to describe the series of events, describe characters, why she went up the tree, work she does in the house),
    Cearrbhach MacCabá (events again, the 3 wishes, describe characters) and
    Lig Sinn i gCathú (and again events, characters) [Hopes this one doesn't come up! No clue about this one!]

    Poems, she thinks -
    Jack, (theme, feelings, images)
    Gealt (theme, feelings, title of the poem - does it suit it?) and
    Bímse Buan ar Buairt Gach Ló (feelings, theme, images)
    I guess I would be happy enough if these came up. And then did you like the poem for all.

    This is just recent work we were doing in the last few weeks. I guess we can't really say "Oh, images will be asked for that one. Theme for this one etc", you know? They could ask anything really. Best to learn all you can and have hope for the best!

    One question: What does "giota" mean? :confused:

    Cheers for that.
    Giota is the essay part, was just thinking of any teachers told anybody to revise any certain part for the essaye.g. sport, teenagers, drugs, etc.

    doesnt matter. i switched to pass two weeks ago after doing my oral. you just get more marks for your oral. i recomend dropping if you think you'll fail honours. the pass course is so easy. it doesnt compare to honours.

    Yeah you can switch, because everyone is marked the same way in the oral and then just given higher grades for those marks if they're doing ordinary level.

    The only thing is someone couldn't change from ordinary to foundation because foundation do a different oral.

    No, neither have I. It's paper 1 tomorrow and I have looked over anything for the letter.

    You serious? My friend switched to foundation a few weeks ago, after the orals. Does that mean she doesn't get marks for the orals?

    About half an A4 for the litir/sceal etc and the long poetry and prose questions. For the shorter poetry questions just go by the marks and it'll tell you how many points to make as well :pac:

    I just decided yesterday to do the ordinary paper because I genuinely think I'll fail the honours. And the pass course just looks so handy. Anybody got any phrases or tips for the layout of the letter? Or the interview?
