English and Literature
IB Year 1 and 2 are designed for students who wish to develop a deeper understanding of literature (in grades 11 and 12). World Literature will be analyzed for its content, structure, and style. Emphasis is placed on personal research and textual analysis. Both oral and written presentations are required. A broad spectrum of writing assignments will be used to develop skills needed for the IB exams as well as State Assessments. Students in the International Baccalaureate program must complete a series of rigorous exams and written assignments to be assessed externally. These assessments may qualify them for either advanced placement or credit in college. Students must sit for the IB English exam to receive IB weighting.
