The individual oral (IO) is a 10-minute presentation on 1 literary and 1 non-literary text and a global issue, followed by a 5 minute discussion between the student and the teacher. Students speak for 5 minutes on each (extract from a) text, showing how the author of each text explores a global issue. Students select the texts and the global issue and prepare a one-page outline of no more than 10 bullet points. During the IO students must bring the outline and annotated copies of the extracts. The IO is internally assessed by students' teachers, using the assessment criteria. The IO counts toward 20% of your final grade. 

Steps: 

1. Review your learner portfolios and Mini IOs for global issue connections:  (Animal Farm, Poetry, Frankenstein, Between the World and Me, Speeches of Toni Morrison, )

• The IO Extracts  Literary and Non-Literary Work  (models)

2. Select 30-40 lines from the literary text that reflects your global issue  (EXTRACT 1)

3. Select your visual (photograph, art , or political cartoon) that reflects the global issue (EXTRACT  2)  

• The IO Outline (10 Bullet points) 

Determine your thesis on the IO Planning Guide

5. Use the IO outline guide (below)  to develop your 10 bullet point  outline
