Poets Predictions.

or

Anyone hear any hints or tips from teachers?

**Timbuk2**

Eavan Boland is likely, although I don't like her much.

I'd love to see Rich on the paper, but I don't think it's going to happen as she was up in 2008.

Kavanagh would be great, and there is a chance of him coming up.

Longley was on the cancelled paper last year, but not on the replacement paper, so they might put him on this year again.

Please God let Eliot and/or Yeat be on it!!!

My teacher reckons Boland, Kavanagh, Yeats and Longley are coming up. I hope Boland and Kavanagh come up but there's no way to know really.

Boland
Kavanagh

My teacher reckons 3 if not all of these are likely to come up. Would never take the risk though.

I can't see four Irish poets appearing in June, to be honest. Yeats is 1865-1939 so no anniversary.

1. Boland
2. Yeats
3. Kavanagh
4. Elliot
5. Longley

Starting in order of who's most likely to come up. My teacher has given some fairly likely predictions before and over the last 5 years, has never been wrong. And her reasons for picking them 5 seem strong enough, without explaining them there. By the sounds of things, Longley will be only on the contingency paper, he doesn't seem to be a bet at all this year for the real thing.

Boland will probably come up. And it wouldn't hurt to do Rich either as she has only been on the paper once but Boland has been on twice already. If either of those came up, I'd be happy out!

I hope they're both right! Yeah it'd be crazy if you just knew four because on the day the other four could come up. Unlikely but you'd be kicking yourself if it happened.

Quite conveniently all of the predicted poets are the only ones my teacher has covered!

Do you think Yeats will come up? I hate Yeats...

Freakin4Leavin

Does anyone feel like they only know two well even thought were "learning 4/5"?
So I have Longley,Rich and Yeats left to revise... i'm gonna learn two of them which dya think are the best two to learn? I'm thinking Yeats and Longley...even though I don't like Longley so ill only learn him really vaguely and pray Boland, Kavanagh or Yeats comes up!!

more voters please

I would love either Boland, Rich or Longely to come up! What are the chances that at least one of them could definitely be on the paper?

AllInOne

I hope to god Yeats comes up. Absolute love writing about Yeats. I have a feeling Eavan will probably come up, but then Rich hasn't come up that much, so there might be a strong possibilty there...

seanaor

For the risk takers... On the old course, a woman poet HAD TO always come up. On the new course, its said that a woman poet doesnt have to come up, but its worth noting that whenever theyve been on the course, they have come up on the paper....

E.g. this year, either Rich or Boland should come up, (Not both...) so if i were a risk-taker, id only learn them two... No guarantees though, so dont hold me responsible should i be wrong!

Boland Kavanagh Yeats and Longley!

Last year was Yeats 80th anniversary of something or other and he never came up last year so he's a bit of a shoe in :eek:

Yeats wasn't on the course last year.That's why he didn't come up.

If Longley, Kavanagh, and Literary Genre don't come up... I don't know...

Speaking of which, which comparatives d'you think will come up? Everyone seems to just assume LitGen will come up, and it's also the only mode my English teacher has even touched. What if it doesn't...

Then I will cry while I begrudgingly struggle through a V&V essay...

I don't see the point in voting to be honest.

It was Yeats' anniversary last year, but he wasn't on the course then. I'm hoping he comes up, he's my number one man :P Studying Kavanagh, Rich and Boland too.

cork*girl

Did an intense study of the past poets.. (procrastination how are you ) and according to my calculations I think.. Kavanagh, Longley, and either Boland and Rich or Rich and Eliot..

Is 7/4 good??? ****tt! I'm a repeat and I havent done Yeats or Kavanagh!!! I'd hate to see a paper where my choices are severly limited

Conor108

Boland, Kavanagh, Yeats and Longley would be perfect.

10/1 odds of any LC paper being leaked?:P
