Topics of Study

AnnaKin

So guys, just a random thought about showing what topics I'll be narrowing the studying down to for definite. Yous can add yours too (especially for subjects I dont do). Figured that whoever doesn't have a clue what to be at will be able to have an idea from us. So:

English
Rich- Themes of Power and Powerlessness
Heaney-Theme of Love and how he expresses it
Kinsella- The transcience of time
Larkin- Interesting insights into the ordinary

Of course Comparative Quotes- GVV especially, then Lit Gen if I have to
Hamlet- Quotes and ideas relative to Deception, Hamlet himself, and the women.

Irish
Paper One: Planning on learning vocab for the problems in Ireland and diospoireacht vocab too. Havent done much more than them in school.

Paper Two: Doing general plans for everything since we cant narrow it down. (eg for geibheann I'll list the theme, the elements of writing and then general words that need to be mentioned as I write, then suíomh an dáin, and a bit on the poet themselves.)

For An Triail I'm doing a general answer, then one on Pádraig and Maire and then one more which I havent decided.

French
Sport is a definite topic of revision for me!
Other than that I was going to do positive and negative vocab for the journal intime, then for other questions I'm revising technology, smoking the environment.

Geography

For Physical I will be focusing on:
*Rivers- how they're formed in each stage.
- Humans with Rivers (The three gorges dam)
-Isostatic Processes
*Rocks- Formation of each type
- Humans with Rocks (Tara Mines)

As for Regional it will be:
Primary/Secondary/Tertiary for Paris and Brazil
and Primary and Secondary for GDA/BMW
Might do a brief revision of Mezzogiorno.

For Human Environment I'll be studying the OS maps with settlements, as well as migration and Overpopulation.

As for geoecology I'll be focusing on Tropical Biomes, Deforestation and Soil Erosion in a biome and formation of brown soils.

Art
Irish: Newgrange
Bronze Age
Iron Age
And maybe Stone Crosses.
EU: Boticelli
Romanesque/Gothic
Donatello
Michelangelo
And the Art appreciation Q is the gallery

Home Ec:
Anyone that does this knows its hard to narrow down.
I'll be learning off Vitamins and Minerals completely.
Then I'll probably focus on Carbohydrates and Fats and Lipids, with appropriate food commodities.
Then I guess I'll focus on Microbiology, as well as Marriage/Families in Ireland.

For the Option I do social studies so I'll be focusing on Poverty and education.

Maths:
I do ordinary level but since P2 requires some study I'm learning some definitions off and knowing my circumcircle/incircle constructions off.

Ok this is long and i'm hoping this helps Everyone feel free to add!

This is a very good idea for a thread .I will add mine later as I am going for dinner now

JonnyMcNamee

Good idea for a thread! I might aswell just do the ones you haven't listed as the rest of mine are pretty much the same as yours!

Physics:
Nothing you can leave out really. If you leave out a chapter or a section, say mechanics for example, you're leaving yourself open to not being able to answer some questions which is pretty nonsensical.

History:
Pursuit of Sovereignty and the Impact of Partition:

• Eucharistic Congress (Gonna learn about three different questions based around this to be safe)
• Anglo-Irish Treaty agreement.
• Fall of Home Rule/Rise of Sinn Féin Party

• Michael Collins (According to my teacher he's been tipped and he's the only personality that a question hasn't come up on)

Politics and Society in Northern Ireland:

• Coleraine University Controversy
• Apprentice Boys.
• The Welfare State.
• The Civil Rights Movement.

United States and the World:

• Lyndon Johnson.
• Us Foreign Policy.
• Montgomery Bus Boycott/Civil Rights Movement.
• Moon Landing/New Military and Information Technology.

Colonialisation:
Doing all three (India, Katanga and Race Relations.

Don't wanna take a chance)


Engineering:
Just the usual kind of stuff- Welding, Machining Processes, Mechanisms, Plastics, Computers/Electrics, L.A.S.E.Rs (special topic). Has to be one of the easiest topics on the LC theory-wise!

Music:
Irish Music:

• The Harping Tradition
• Uilleann Pipes
• Fusion
• Influence of Irish music on the folk music of North America and Canada.
• Development in Irish music in the twentieth century.
• Collectors
• Composers

Composition:

• Doing Q.1 and Q.5! There fairly alright as long as you know a basic bit of musical theory!

Listening:

• Really at a kind of loss for the Set Pieces. I know them fairly inside but don't really know what exactly to study so I'm just learning everything! Fairly time consuming especially when you come to the likes of Barry! :mad: Anyone got any tips for this part of the paper?

Geographyhater

Biology:
You really cant narrow this down but make sure to know -Genetics, ecology, plants, and bacteria

Construction:
Sewage
Water supply
U values
Passive house q10
And the 2 drawing questions

Engineering:
Very easy to narrow down same thing every year but easiest questions seem to be que 2 4 5 and 6

I'm not sure what way you've been learning the set pieces but our teacher has kind of a grid for all the different sections of each work. Listen to the piece and try to identify things such as key changes, the themes, time signatures etc! Or else use the script and listen ( If only I used my own advise!!:rolleyes:)

Good thread.
Here's my plan for history:

Pursuit of Sovereignty
-Everything to do with the Cumann na nGaedhael govt.
- '' '' '' '' '' Fianna Fáil govt.
-The causes of Partition.
-The Rise of Sinn Féin.

Northern Ireland
-Brookeborough in power.
-O'Neill in power.
-Reasons for/account of the growth of the Civil Rights Movement.
-Reasons for/account of the Fall of Stormont.
-Account of British rule from Direct Rule to the Sunningdale Treaty.
-Steps taken in the Peace Process.

Death of Colonialism [or whatever]
-Everything.

Dictatorship and Democracy
-Lenin + Stalin in power in Russia.
-Growth of Fascism in Europe.
-Britain, France and Germany during the Inter-War years.
-Church-State relations under Hitler and Mussolini.
-Rise of the Nazis.
-Mussolini in power.


...and that's it. Do ye think I can cut down anywhere? I seem to have too little material in the Pursuit of Sovereignty topic [although accounts of FF/CnG govts 1923-32 is fairly broad], but too much in Dict and Democ and on Northern Ireland.
Still loads to do.
