LC Irish (HL): Christmas/Easter & Sunday Revision Course outline:
Grammar and Reading Comprehensions
The first session covers essential Irish grammar – mainly the saorbhriathar followed by the léamhthuiscintí [reading comprehensions].
We go through all the possible grammar questions that could be asked for Q. 6 a, followed by a one size fits all approach to dealing with Q. 6b.
An Aiste
We take you through the top 30 spelling and grammar mistakes and then work through one important “aiste” – “Géarchéim na dTeifeach” [the refugee crisis]. The Revision Book also contains the notes required for writing other essays such as “sceimhlitheoireacht”, “daoine gan dídean”, and “bulaíocht”.
Poetry and Prose
Stories and poems on the course including “Mo Ghrá-sa, Géibheann, An Spáilpín Fánach, Dís, Hurlamaboc, and an Lasair Choille” will be covered. While it will not be possible to deal with the other stories and poems on the day, Full Notes will be provided in the revision book.
An Triail
The drama, “An Triail” will be covered with the focus on the characters in the drama and an introduction and conclusion that suit almost all questions on this.
Oral
The oral will be dealt with, with a particular focus on the sraith pictiúr. We go through common vocabulary and phrases that can be used in all the sraith pictiúr, thereby saving students many hours of study.
