Leaving Cert 2010 predictions?

spjhalion

Hey. I did my LC two years ago but am repeating just HL Irish this year because I want to do teaching at some stage and need at least a C3 in HL (I got a D1... very annoying). Im working my way through the course but finding it hard to focus in on specific texts because I amn't in the loop with regards to predictions etc. Could anyone tell me what they have been told to focus on for essays? And if anyone had either mock I would be eternally grateful! Also I am studying English so if anyone needs any help in return I would be more than happy!

Very few(if any?) topics have been repeated since the course was started in 2004. There is still quite a number of topics that have never come up which are predicted to show up this year.Early Christian communities(Corinth,Philipi, ect.) was predicted last year and never showed up so this year its chances of popping up are quite high.If you study the past papers you will see whats not come up-I would focus on those.

Yeah I've grown to love CC. I'd LOVE if that came up, that and LG to give us a nice choice of questions. I haven't even looked at GVV. I don't even know what it is...

Any body heard of anything that is likely to come in the Art History exam this year?

Newgrange, Impressionists and the opposite to what came up last year in Gothic and Romanesque!

(HL)

irish- an chead drama / an t-oilean.
clare sa speir seems to come up every second year.
lig sinn i gcathu is due up.
the whole cathal o searcaigh thing has kind of blown over so don't count him out, maigdileana or nil aon ni could appear again.

french- something on poverty, not directly recession.
our teacher thinks something on reading could come up because it came up on both mock papers she used. just because it came up in the mocks doesn't mean it would come up in the real thing though. she was just saying it's a possibility and something that she hasn't seen before.

home ec- how can you narrow that down? you have to know EVERYTHING. anything can come up, and Q1 is compulsory, so if you get a 25marker on something you don't know, screwed. poverty, unemployment (obvious recession-related topics) for sociology elective though.

english- EVERYONE is saying boland. i'm learning kavanagh, boland, longley anyway.

lig sinn i gcathu = yuck yucky YUCK yuck!;(

Orlaladuck

Haaate Lig Sin i gCathu =(.
Would love An Chead Drama to come up, the poet was my 4th cousin lmao.

Any ideas on the Aiste?

Just spent about twenty minutes and took a page of notes from this threwad so I suppose I'll throw in my own predictions/hopes/teachers' predictions.

English. Poetry, I'm hoping for Longley and Boland. Longley is easy enough I think, and even though I hate Boland she's not too challenging. I'm gonna learn Rich and Kavanagh to a lesser extent.
Lear, my teacher made us do about eight six page essays on every aspect of it last year and I really don't feel like there's all that much to learn, I found myself repeating things I had said in other essays. Stuff about suffering, good and evil. I should probably be doing this when I'm more awake, I'll come back to Lear tomorrow or something. This may sound ridiculous, but quotes are easy to remember if you put ridiculous words in them.. a friend and I use "Morbo", like the alien news anchor from Futurama. "I love your majesty according to my bond, nor Morbo, nor less." is a prime example.
I think Vision and Viewpoint and Cultural Context are sort of easy to prepare the same essay for.. you just need to know your stuff and know how to twist it to suit what you're saying.

For Biology (higher) I have a good feeling about the ear. That's all really.

Music, Seachanges for the big one. I can't remember what he said about the beatles, but I have music tomorrow so I'll check again.

Irish, the same as everyone's saying really.. but for the Aiste I'm kinda hoping for a good scéal. I generally do really well with them, it saved me in the mocks. Hoping the fáinne óir will save the day.

Art History, I am screwed. HELP

French, also screwed. Considering dropping to ordinary.

I think that's all I've got.. for now.

My predictions for Irish:

Prós:
-A) Lá Buí Bealtaine
-B) Fiche Blian Ag Fás

Gnáth.
A) Níl Aon Ní or Faoiseamh a Gh.
Jack


Ard. I've narrowed it down to three:
Uirchill an Chreagain, An tOilean or An Chead Drama.

Stair:
An Fiannaíocht, Gaeilge (Cainiuntí, Gaeltacht), Ogham, Gluaiseanna

Essays/Debates/Newspaper Articles:
Possibly Sport (world cup, handball incident), Poverty/Effect of Recession, Environment (2010 Biodiversity, earthquakes, tsunami's), Education System (Irish course change, project maths, CAO applicants etc.)

Victorian_Fangs

For Art History Newgrange is due to come up this year, seems to come up every second year. (THANK GOD) The Bronze Age is likely too. I think Post-Impressionism (Van Gogh, Cezanne) is gonna come up too. Other than that I'm learning Raphael and Leonardo.

For English, I'm frickin hoping Boland and Longley will come up! Gonna learn Kavanagh and Rich and Yeats to a lesser extent though. I'm told minor characters are likely to come up this year? (Eg. The Fool, Cordelia) The whole "King Lear is a man more sinned against than sinning" is likely too, as well as our sympathy for him despite his wrongdoing.

For Biology, my teachers tips are usually pretty accurate. She told us she thinks: The ear, plant/human reproduction, genetics, respiration, excretion, spinal cord/reflexes, enzymes...i know there's more but i can't remember!

Hope this helps ye!

ihavequestions

I would say minor characters are VERY likely to come up this year in English as last year on the original English paper 2 paper the character of Banquo came up in Macbeth ( can't verify this as I obv didn't see the paper, but saw the thread/got the text saying what was on the paper) and he was a minor character! also, the theme of deception came up last year on the original paper, and neither of these came up on the paper we sat last year... so a theme Q is also very likely this year! Thats my theory anyways

aine92

My teacher has been going over the Fool and how he and Cordelia have been rumoured as being the same character, and the Fools wisdom, all that jazz, like a mad woman!

Home Ec anybody....please god home ec?!

BarbiePink

Anybody have any notes on the Fool, Cordelia etc.? Like on the minor characters because my teachers has given us nothing on them! Thanks

Im doing the same repeating as an external student to apply for teaching, although I'm attending a class specifically for external students.
With regards to prediction,
Poetry Ordinary level: Nil aon ni, Jack
Honours poetry: An Toilean, Chead drama
Stories: Clare sa Spear is due up (it comes up every second yr) and fiche bliain ag fag, a lot of people are sayin Lig Sinn i gCathu but its been on the paper for the last 3 yrs..
A thig na tit orm: Something to do with his time in America
And the essay: the life of politicians, imigration/unemployment, the irish language.

Hope this helps
