    DEB Home Ec

    The examcraft Home Ec exam has already been posted. DEB long questions are on:
    Teenagers Diet in School and the foods available in Irish schools,Meat and processing of meat and the Social Studies question is on the family changing and how to resolve conflict. I did the Social Elective which was on the low corporation tax in ireland, education or the family moving to urban areas.

    That's all I can remember.. It's not a very hard exam :) Much easier than the examcraft!

    On my English HL paper 2 the Yeats question is something like
    the
    real world and the imaginary world in his poetry.
    . This is just a hint from my teacher as I haven't started my mocks yet.

    Could someone tell me whether this is DEB or Examcraft?

    Journalistic Text on childhood obesity. The sentence you have to say in a different way in Spanish is "Poner al niño en movimiento"
    Other Long comprehension is on bullying through tecnology. Kids are being abused online and so forth.
    Essays is on "New technology has provoked a new form of school age bullying" or "parents need to monitor what their children do online"
    Dialogue is about planning for a party. Good few subjunctive bits in here remember "no creo que + (subjunctive), quiero que + (subjunctive)
    Note is on you going out with some friends from school. You tell your penpal that he rang earlier. He wants her to call him back (quiere que + subjunctive) when she gets home. Tell her not to worry about you as you have money for a taxi and you'll come back early.

    Does anyone have any examcraft HL Gaeilge spoilers?

    I don't know what type of papers we're getting but from other spoilers, DEB is
    Dís and Spailpín
    and we were told our prós wouldnt be that and we were told to "know
    Géibheann
    really really REALLY well" ...so take from that what you will.

    I'm praying for anything but Dís to appear on my leaving cert. It's the most pointless, boring, irrelevant thing on the entire leaving cert course.

    Hi i have HL Art history. Which i believe it examshaft because it has the barcode on the top right hand side. I'm narrowing this down a bit. Anyone who has other
    queires about the art history exam can pm me :)
    section 1: Newgrange, Bronze age, learn gorget and lock rings, irish Romanesque architecture.

    Section 2 : Romanesque architecture plus learn a romansque sculpture.
    Leonardo da vinci, pop art, surrealism, cubism, the bauhaus.

    Section 3 : Writing a report about an exhition of art or craftwork (gallery question)
    , For product design its describing the titanic belfast.

    Again any artists i might have not mentioned may have come up on the paper. So any queries pm me if need be :)

    Do you know who any of the other artists were in the European section (section 2)? because someone said on another thread about Art History HL exam craft, that
    apart from that^ artist in sect 2, 1 other renaissance artist was coming up? was wondering if it was a given artist on the paper or if it was a renaissance artisit of your choice ?

    Classical Studies has not been mentioned in any previous posts.. Has anyone completed their Classics Exam Craft exam yet? If so please post some spoilers but if not could classics students please post any hints they might have gotten off teachers or other students etc, be much appreciated :) If you have completed the mock paper (preferably Exam Craft because I think that is what my schools getting) or when you do could you please post anything on what came up! Its such a vast course so would be so great if anyone at all could help! :)

    Less than 400 people do Classical studies every year out of like 60,000 to 70,000 students. I doubt you'll find anyone with the paper here. I don't think Examcraft would even do them..? How would they make a profit? Your teacher is probably going to make the paper.

    From what I've gathered in this thread, here are a list of all the possible English essays.

    I don't know what papers they come from, but I'll group them all together so you only have to plan for one essay from each group if you don't know what type of mock paper you're getting - like me.

    Group 1 - suggested to be Examcraft - Mod
    Article on the benefits of schoolwork
    Personal Essay on creativity in modern life
    Short Story where actions have repercussions
    Article for a magazine on the importance of goal setting
    Speech to an international audience on changes you would like to see in the world
    Personal Essay on what you will miss after school has ended
    Short Story where the issue of identity is central


    Group 2 - suggested to be DEB - Mod
    Article for a school magazine about the need to escape from everyday life
    Personal Essay about the pressure to conform with other people's expectations
    Short Story where the central character acts in a courageous manner
    Speech for or against the motion "Truth is undervalued in today's world"
    Article for a magazine about your views on crime and punishment in today's society
    Descriptive Essay with the title "A Perfect World"
    Short Story where rumours/gossip plays a significant part in the protagonists life.


    I don't know which set is examcraft or which is DEB, sorry guys.
