Irish (H)

BraveheartGal

hey...

Just wondering how the actual irish paper is marked.

As in how many points do you need for the prose,stair,maidhc,etc.

With regards to maidhc dainin,
do you refer to specific events in his life or jus give a general over view,
like i know the way hie "oige" is tipped to come up.
so would i talk directly about his first day,his fight with tomas etc or jus say how he was a rogue etc.

ooh, and any tips for topics for the aural? :rolleyes:


(as youve probably guessed, im kinda freakin :eek: bout irish so any help would be appreciated! trust me, ill send loving thoughts your way! ) thanks

Youd make references to different events i suppose-irish colleges, the tinkers, ceardscoil, caide,music?
I thought ceol or greann were tipped to appear?

BraveheartGal

i dunno, was jus runnin thru the posts and most of em said a oige

lookin at the past exam questions they havent asked anything bout daoine gorma or racism (at least i dont think they had)

so ill focus on his youth,ceol,greann,racism
n jus ave a brief look over america n englan

grr...of course hes the author, its a dirbheathaisnéis for godsake!

Yes, but if you read the first one, it would seem like she's saying that Maidhc Dainin is the name of the book.

I was just clearing it up for people that didn't read the novel, tis all.

Shyster

Out of curiosity how many pages are ye planning to learn for topics as greann, ceol, oige in Maidhc Danin?I have greann and ceol on 2-2 1/2 pages each.Is that long enough?

That's longer than I have!

You must.............email...............notes.

Shyster

that sounds like loads camogieplaya, chances are on the day you'll being throwing stuff in out of nowhere just to get everything down on the paper so you'll have a lot..
Ive only written out answers for:
a óige
a shaol i Sasana
a shaol i Meiriceá
and im thinking i can adapt them to any other q, have you all written out answers about greann etc??

You wouldn't believe what Shyster just PM'd me saying! He is going to travel all the way to Dublin and, eh, do things to your mother if you don't email those notes to him/her and myself!

Personally, I wouldn't take any chances. But it's your decision.

Shyster

har de ha ha.......cept HE is a SHE damnit!!, my smurf has a pink hat of course im a girl!!............u need notes, Aristotle?























Sorry, dont have any..
(teehee, i need to grow up)

Do you know what the strange thing is? I corrected myself a few minutes before you posted that!

Shyster

still doesnt make sense....?!
or does it....*cue xfiles music*......No NO it definitely doesnt, there's to be no more pondering about my sexual orientation etc etc, i am a girl:)

When I said "do stuff", I meant go shopping with her, and buy Camogie Player a really ugly shirt! OBVIOUSLY.

Nope! It was a joke! I was saying that if you didn't email us your notes, we'd tell your mother to buy you a really ugly shirt!
