Reminder: From the IB, ‘any combinations of texts and global issues used for practice will not be available for any student for the real individual oral.’
The IB English Guys have a whole collection of videos to help support your IO planning.
Internal Assessment
Internal Assessment
The IO is internally assessed and externally moderated. Except in Covid times, where all IOs are marked by examiners.
Supported by an extract from one non-literary body of work (BoW) and one from a literary work, you will offer a prepared response of 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of questions by the teacher, to the following prompt:
Examine the ways in which the global issue of your choice is presented through the content and form of one of the works and one of the bodies of work that you have studied.
The IO is worth 40 marks and the rubric is here.
This is the IO Checklist. It is an idiot proof checklist to making sure you include all the necessary elements of the IO.
Watch out for the following:
An overly broad, or narrow or convoluted Global Issue
Crit A, B and C: Imbalance—spend the same time on extract and work/body of work and literary/literary
Crit B: Not linking the feature you are exploring to the way it presents the global issue
Crit C: Talking for less/ more than 10 minutes
Crit A and B: Not having anything else to say about the texts in the Q&A
Crit D: Having some presentational flair, making it feel like a spoken text, not a essay read aloud, or sounding over-rehearsed
