What's your opinion or have your teachers given an opinion on a student writing their Irish exams exclusively in pencil?
GRMA

Never do any exam in pencil it fades and if an examiner cant read your writing they dont give you benfit of the doubt

Ha, I'm studying An Spailpín Fanach and Colscaradh the most but will have a look over Geibheann just in case!

Youre only learning two of the poems???? Im learning all 5 pros and poems to be safe

JAYSUS123 · 28-05-2014 4:15pm

I'm doing Daoine Óga, Colscaradh, Splaipín, Dís..
any suggestions on what other pros?
and An Triail.. just do a general essay?

JDOC1996 · 28-05-2014 4:28pm

Anyone want to send me a daoine óga aiste? I've got A1 answers on teicneolíocht/idirlíon, imirce/recession and the Irish language and would be willing to trade.

Cool, what do you want?

DannyLC96 · 29-05-2014 10:35am

What about An Triail? I'm learning Dramatic techniques and Maili, Maire's mother and maybe another minor character (Sean or Bean Ui Chin) .. Id like to get a feeling what others are expecting!

Yes im definitely doing Dramatic Techniques! what ones do you have? i have notes to talk about the garsún nuachtáin, spotsholas, iardhearcadh, cros cheistiúchán, an chlann? do you use something similar! mailí is always good as a point of contrast! im learning her too!

I think the lack of Religioun might come up, like how everyone turns on Máire but then something similar to that came up in 2012, I really don't know what to learn, defo gonna do Maili, Máire's mother and Máire herself!

We don't have that done but fimíneacht is another I'm considering! Maire has been up last year or the year before hasn't she? I really don't enjoy learning the quotes:((

Yeah Máire was up in 2012 and kinda up last year but nearly every question you get, you talk about he a bit so she's defo worth learning! Maybe something like Tragóid could come up, discuss how the play is a tradgedy, I really don't know

Mundy07 · 29-05-2014 2:30pm

Would someone mind posting a few line sample answer for dulra for this poem? My teacher didn't cover it. Thanks

I'm studying Dís and Cacá Milis for the Pros!

What kind of question could come up for Cacá Milis?
I'm studying humour and the relationship between the couple in Dís and a little about the bean an tsuirbhe

aleatorio · 29-05-2014 2:51pm

For Dís I've covered Bean Sheain, Sean, Bean an tSuirbhe, the opinions on the role of women, the importance of the survey, the theme, the significance of the beginning and ending repetition and humour

For Caca Milis I'm going to cover Paul, Catherine, a tinnnyyy bit on the mother, and then for film techniques I have: Symmetry, lighting, shots through glass, tense scenes, setting, atmosphere, humor, sounds and then the theme

Pretty sure that'd cover any questions

leavingcert problems · 29-05-2014 3:02pm

I have a terrible feeling that Oisin will be on the paper for the pros!

At this stage I'm just praying for Dís to come up because I find it so hard to study Cacá Milis...

Good god lets hope not. Also pray for no caoineadh Art Laoire

aleatorio · 29-05-2014 4:29pm

Just based off speculation, in order of likeliness this is what I'm thinking:

Spailpin Fanach, Colscaradh, Geibhinn, (Mo ghrasa, an tearrach thiar)

Dís, Caca Milis, Oisin, Gnathrud, Hurlamaboc

PatrickP123 · 29-05-2014 8:01pm

I'm learning Gnáthrud, Dís and a bit of an lasair coille.
I think I'll be okay to talk about poetry without much study.
For essays I'm studying An Gaeilge and mean comarsáirde/cíbearbhullaíocht/daoine óga.
I'm doing techniques for An Triail
What are your opinions on that?

Yeah im banking on dúghreann and teicnící scanánnaíochta for caca milis! only studying dís gnathrud and caca milis! leaving out oisin and hurlamaboc which is dodgy i know!

cferry3 · 30-05-2014 9:08am

All I've got for Cacá Milis is the theme, Paul, Catherine, Emotions and a wee but on Humour/Dúghrean so if anyone would like to post up some of their notes on things I don't have, is really appreciate it!

Mundy07 · 30-05-2014 9:37am

Does anyone have a sample answer for Dulra in An Spailpin Fanach? My teacher didn't cover it. Thanks

louiseB900 · 30-05-2014 2:19pm

Hi would anyone have a good standard essay on "Daoine Oga" that would like to share please.

Thanks

Because my teacher, clare greally in the insitiute said that it would never be worth more than 6 marks. Theres just not enough to write about for a 15 marker

Did she ever comment on the possible title(s) for the scéal?
Thanks.

Yes, about the spailpins life in general and how hard it was, the farmwork he did. If you know the poem theres not many questions they can ask to catch you out

Mundy07 · 31-05-2014 12:48pm

Possible title of the scéal instead of writing an aiste......

Efafitz1994 · 31-05-2014 3:09pm

I'm a repeat this year hoping for an A in honours irish...I'd say there's a good chance that stádas na gaeilge/todhchaí na gaeilge could come up this year too...sure there was a big protest about it and uproar when Enda Kenny wanted to get rid of it as a compulsory subject for the leaving. Also meain cumarsaide was on both pre papers so that's fairly likely I'd say.

aleatorio · 31-05-2014 3:14pm

Does anyone have a sample essay on Gaeilge that they could send me? My teacher never did essays with us and there's nothing in my book on the future of Irish or anything

Nature hmmm. Never thought about it .
I would just go on about the seasonal work and the continuos travel (all place names ). The pic and the grass and all that stuff .

Is this what you'd talk about ?

Ciaran511 · 31-05-2014 5:14pm

I've got an A1 aiste on polaiteoirí if anyone wants it

preferably get another aiste back in return!

curlyclodagh · 31-05-2014 7:22pm

Please don't tell me other people think that Oisín will come up for prós

I don't think it will personally, but I've heard a good few people thinking that the examiners are gonna be mean gob****es and put it on again this year

curlyclodagh · 31-05-2014 7:32pm

What was the 'An Triail' mock question on exam craft, we had the tecníocht drámata, wouldn't have had a clue how to answer that only for the teacher gave us a sample essay before the mock and told us it was coming up!

It was that the greatest tragedy to do with Máire was that her family deserted her

can't remember the exact wording of it but it was something like "An tubaiste is mó a bhaineann le Máire Ní C. sa dráma "AT" ná gur thréig a muintir í"

Would love something like that in the real thing, would be easy enough to write about!

Same! It was a lovely question, very easy to get high marks in as it was so broad

laylaax · 31-05-2014 9:08pm

Hey, for the daoine óga essays what are ye focusing on? Like I just talk about the stress of school and a small bit of bullying is that enough ?

Efafitz1994 · 01-06-2014 11:22am

Daoine óga essay is a handy one you can bring anything and everything into it...got 96% in it for the pre...I basically used emmigration, politicians, the recession..as well as school and drink/drugs. I had a strong start and strong finish though which is very important for the essay.

cferry3 · 01-06-2014 11:25am

Daoine Óga
Na Meáin Chunarsáide
An Cúlú Eacnamaíocht
Do you think I'll be be covered learning them 3essays?

maeveveam · 01-06-2014 11:39am

Is anyone doing the scéal composition. I'm still not decided and need pros and cons of both! Our teacher has done absolutely nothing with us I'm literally covering the course myself.

leavingcerta · 01-06-2014 12:10pm
