Geography:
For the Regional Geog, Primary Activites in a non-Irish European region have never been asked. I'm doing The Mezz in Italy but only have agriculture as a primary activity which means I'm ****ed if they ask for more than one!
Anyone good enough to throw up 6 SRPs on another primary activity of the Mezz? Please?

Thanks

We were just told write down "agriculture and intensive farming" and just never specify after that :P

biggaman

Anyone that could give me a bit of a digout on what topics I should go about studying for Human Geography?

Fishing

• Mediterranean has high levels of pollution and salinity.
• This limits the variety of fish available.
• The seas also contain low levels of oxygen and plankton growth is slow.
• Dominant fishing ports are Salerno and Nicastro.
• Peninsula has a large continental shelf and posseses a large amont of anchovies, tuna and sardines.
• Weather is seldom severe so fishing can take place all year round.
• Coastline posseses many natural harbours, particularly on the west-coast.
• Decline in stocks and E.U quotas have hindered the fishing trade in the Mezzogiorno.

cheers, was much needed!

For history I'm not so sure about the treaty, a lot of people seem to be saying it's a likely one but I noticed it didn't come up in 06 or 07, came up in 08 and 09 and didn't come up in 10...obviouly this doesn't mean a lot because it's so hard to predict..but if this is a pattern then there's a chance it will skip this year aswell! Just a thought! Our teacher did emphasise the rise of Sinn Féin and the 1918 election!

HL Geography- anybody have any tips for Growth of an Urban Area in India? Please?

Bloc Party!

anyone have any ideas which will come up between cultural context,theme and issue and general vision and view point?

partyatmygaff

I'd say Cultural Context and Theme/Issue.

noony

Any predictions for Aiste in leaving cert Irish?
I've prepared the economy / IMF, poverty, drugs, crime
but nothing on young people, politicians etc.. will that do? I hate writing essays:mad:

partyatmygaff

Well I know some people will disagree with me in saying this but the Irish aiste doesn't really need to match the title exactly. Only 20/100 marks go for content. Just make sure your grammar is alright and then just fit whatever you've learnt to suit the title.

It's a perfectly valid technique so long as you aren't aiming for a high B or A in Irish.

2006 theme and cc
2005 gvv and lg
2004 theme and lg
2003 cc and gvv
2002 theme and lg
2001 theme and lg

AdamD

What we thinking for:

Maths HL
English HL: Frost/Wordsworth/Dickinson (hoping)
Business HL: Breakeven Chart/Data protection act etc etc
Economics HL: Oligopolies
History HL: Ireland: Rise of sinn fein/ estabalishing a democracy/ compare CnG and FF. America: Detente/MBB. Europe: Britain in the inter-war period / Characteristics of Nazi state/fascism
Accounting HL: Company/Tab/Published/Incomplete


Anybody got any suggestions for these subjects?

noony

Theme comes up every second year at least.
The comparative texts change every year so it's hard to predict.
I just really hope theme comes up!!!:D

You could still talk about the agricultural sector if you include the development of it.
Expropriation, Irrigation, New crops, Land Reclamation, New Social Infrastructure, New transport Infrastructure. Maybe you didn't learn that part..

LC2010HIS

Is Kavanagh likely this year?

Bbbbolger

Id wager that one of Kavanagh or Yeats wil appear, despite both coming up last year. I would've swayed more towards Yeats though. All educated guesswork though! Wish I could say I really knew.

He was on last year but could come up again.

LC2010HIS

Ok here are my choices to study:

Boland
Frost
Yeats p.response
Kavanagh p.response

Was sick when we covered Wordsworth(she covered him in may) and we didnt cover Dickinson....


Should I be ok? So worried!

Geography Geoecology

I have learned the Tropical Rainforest biome and human interactions with the tropical rainforest Biome very well. I have not learned soils.

However, is it possible for all three questions on the geoecology option to be asked on soils?

biggaman

Judging by the trend of the past exam papers, they tend to put questions on both biomes/soils.. it is possible but the chances are slim, unless they're sneaky this year :O

WhoSays

Any tips on ordinary Irish?

Salty

This is what I'm doing for English:

Boland
Wordsworth
Yeats
Kavanagh
Skim over Rich

Hamlet: Soliloques, themes of revenge/appearance vs reality, comparisons of Hamlet/Claudius, Hamlet/Laertes/Horatio

Cultural Context
Theme and issue

Coco pop

I am just doing
Boland and
Dickinson
and skimming over Frost !

Im hoping for and A.. like they might be bitchy and not put up some of the predictables like last year.. but they'd never not put up the three most predicted poets !!

Lets hope not anyway !!:)

im all for taking chances.!. makes succeeding all the better !!

Sm4shbox

Is Cultural Context highly tipped for this year?

What's everybody studying for the comparative?

They've never done it before... doesn't mean to say they wouldn't though. I'm expecting at least two biome questions this year though. Last year there were two soils and as far as I remember the year before as well.

mockshelp

I think Cultural Context too because General vision has never come up 2 years in a row and also cultural context isn't on for next year. So if they didn't ask it this year there would be at least a 4 year gap until they could ask it again and that never happened (so far)

Re: predictions: I would definetly look at Óiche Nollaig na mBan: The dept. love Seán Ó Riordáin and it is a poem that could come up every year, asked in loads of different ways. so much scope and not been up since 2008. An t-Oiléan is a nice safe one too, easy to quickly revise as an option. And An Mhathair, is a nice one too. Watch out for tréithe na Fiannaíochta throughout, íomhánna, agus codarsnacht.

Lig sin i gCathú will more than likely feature look out for characters and themes, does martin protray the likely student etc.

Cearrbhach: if its to come up, would be in section A more than likely. The character of An Chearrbhach or codarsnacht between him and Bás and Dia

An Bhean óg: nice and easy. Universal theme of lonliness etc..

Jack/Gealt/Bimse Buan. Possibly having to answer Bimse buan or Jack.

Stair: make sure you do Ruraíocht AND Fiannaíocht! don't take the risk and look at Gaeltachtaí/ Gaeilge sna Meáin Chum/ Ogham+Gluaiseanna/ Gae. Mar theanga Cheilteach and Aisling pol (seeming Uirchill prob wont appear)

nicenri

liverpool lad: Thank you a million times over. Our teacher was too lazy to do much stair with us so I had no idea where to start!
