Well i totally loved these notes… Maybe a little too simple though? Think they may need bulking up a bit? I realise they’re for ordinary Irish but seriously it isn’t that easy!!
Hi Kate,
I know they seem very simple but believe it or not, these are the notes I got from my own teacher.
It’s simple because it’s just a synopsis of the story but there are at least three or four other poems/stories notes which you need to keep in the head for the exam.
If you have notes with a bit more detail than these, send me a mail and we can put them up.
Regards,
Klara
In all honesty these would not suffice for a leaving certificate exam – not even for pass. With more detail they would just about do.!
Hi Clare,
As I said to Kate, these are the notes I had for my very own Leaving Cert.
If you have more detailed notes, we can improve these so that other students can get the benefit.
