I'm thinking of dropping down on the day.

Can someone please sum up the structure of Irish Paper 2 at ordinary level?

Prós & poetry and what else?

Cheers.

Not so sure that's such a good thing for you to do.... Friends that do Higher level haven't done some of the stuff I had. Not sure whether that's down to their teacher, or, whether it's possible that it's different...

You'd ace paper one, but, for example - have you covered Clair Sa Speir?

jawn

I have!

If you could gimme a rundown of the sections of paper 2, that'd be sweet!

We've done all the 'ordinary' poetry & all the prós.

It's quite a complication layout, I'd suggest looking up examinations.ie for the papers

First, Pros. 55 marks going for it.
A & B: In a, you get a choice of 3 poems with two questions on each. Choose one.

and in b, a choice of two questions, it's a "in relation to other works" question and you pick one.


Then, poems:

A and B again.
A is a choice of two poems with short questions on each, choose one.(You're given the poem)

and then b, you've no choice what poem you want to answer on. You have to do it. Again though, you're given the poem and have a choice of two questions.

That's it :P

Make sure not to answer the rest of the paper There's whole other section to the paper 'Cursa Roghnach'. It's completely different.

Look up some papers, the layout takes a while to get your head around... I think I got it right!
