Ok well I had English Paper 2 today..the one with the tick and heres what came up:

Poets were Boland,Keats,Kavanagh and Yeats..The Question on Boland was that she feels strongly about certain issues and expresses them clearly in her poem..or something along those lines..

Comparitive was vision and viewpoint and literary genre..The literary genre question that I did was that authors have distinctive styles and this adds to the readers enjoyment

Lear essay was love as a redemptive force is a strong theme in the play and sibling rivalry

Hope this helps

What I know so far:

English:

Examcraft: Boland, Yeats (comes up on DEB & examcraft), Kavanagh, Lears journey (presume general suffering & uplifting?), Literary Genre and General Vision and Viewpoint

King lear on examcraft is filial ingratitude and evil vs good
1. We remain sympathetic towards Lear
2. Good v Love

LITERARY GENRE:
1. "Good story-telling enables the reader to engage with the plot of the text"
2. "The art of creative story-telling can add greatly to our interest in narrative texts."


[c]King Lear:
(i) "While we may critise Lear for his actions, Shakespeare ensures our sympathy for him by reminding us of suffering."
(ii) "In King Lear, Shakespeare dramatically presents us with a world in which the powerful forces of evil are overcome by the redemptive forces of love.

POETRY
1. "T.S. Elliot presents memorable themes in a fresh and innovative way."
2. "In her poetry, Eavan Boland explores personal and public issues in an interesting way."
3. "W.B Yeats deals with an interesting variety of subjects and his poetry is full of powerful images and impressive descriptions."
4. "Michael Longley confronts difficult issues in his poetry. His imagery is striking and his language is direct and often shocking."

French: ???? They're tight lipped, if anyone has an idea please share!?

Accounting:

Tabular statements, Suspense accounts, Manufacturing account (Q1), Marginal costing, cash flow statements.
examcraft accounting honours- Q1- company. 100 mrks q's are suspense, cash flow (i think) and interpretation of accounts.... Q8&9 are marginal costing and budget.

Using examcraft, we had it today. Q on entrepreneur; Q4 I think, Q on work experience, 2 Q's on voluntary organizations(one core project, one weird one aha), Q on employment(skills employers want, 2 organisations that help unemployed and what they do).

ye, but what was the wording of the question??

Daisyxx

It was in the

alt nuachtain/irse part of the question

,

they ask you to pretend you are a garda giving a talk on alcol and drugs

...thats the jist of it.

One of the comprehentions were about a man talking about his love of poetry the other was a little confusing but i think it was about a young man meeting a guy who was in a book that he studied....sorry the comprehentions have escaped me to be honest

Basically the essay that came up in the

paper! The only essay I had learned word for word for my actual LC!

Daisyxx

I had learned it word for word too, only i did panic before hand when someone said they were told by the teacher that it wouldnt come up....obviously just playing mind games! Was such relief to see it on the paper:)
