Leaving Cert Irish ??

Caoimhelicious

Ill be doing the leaving cert in 2012 and with the new syllabus our teacher has me, and everyone else in our class very confused.
there are 5 poems we have to do
1 Geibheann
2 Colscaradh
3 Mo ghra sa
4 An spailpin fanach
5 An tEarrach Thiar

Yet all weve done is copy down pages into our notes, with no real structure, im wondering what exactly i have to learn for these poems :eek:

weve also done the prós
Hurlamaboc
An Gnáthrud
and caca milis (eww by the way,haha)

You will get a question on one or two aspects of the poem (codarsnacht or teamai generally or irony) and then you write a page about them. You're doing really well in terms of getting stuff covered though, unlike my own class
Maybe ask her how you should study for the Summer tests in terms of poems and prose?

We have done like 7 poems :eek:.. So we only have to do 5?. All shes done is translate what's in the book. She doesn't give us any notes

5 poems + novel/play or 10 poems

This is my teacher's understanding of teaching as well, which is really irritating because most of Fuintas is the same thing said over and over and over.:mad:

Same as, class teacher. We're only do the 5 and prós option, you do that or 5 and an additional 5.

You need to concentrate on Téamaí agus Mothúcáin in poems and know the content and message of the Prós stories. Know characters and the part they play in story and the characteristics of them. Know also if there is a message to be learned from the story. Sometimes the Titles of poems and Prós is important as in 'Mo ghrá-sa' (idir lúibiní), the title here sends a message to the reader that the poet is realistic about 'her love'.

im repeating and my teacher has already done all the poems and given us questions to do but i dont have any notes apart from the ones in the book.....does anyone have any decent well layed out notes on the poems and/or pros!??

In the sample papers the questions are more specific for poetry, asks you to list things under headings which include imagery, the poet and how the poem affected you so I'd say you'd want to be prepared for that too!
