IB English Literature and Performance SL

Former students discuss their experiences with the course.

"One of my favorite parts about IB Literature and Performance was the creativity we were able to have while taking a scene and being able to experiment with movement, facial expressions, and tone in order to convey emotions and messages within the text. Performing our scene was a huge learning experience, because it helped teach me to be more comfortable in presenting my work in front of others and it also gave me more confidence in my ability to show my learning."

"I like how we get to perform in class because it makes the class really interactive."

"I recommend IB Literature and performance because I love trying to find different connections within books or plays and relate them to my life or previous things I have read. In IB Literature and performance we are able to take a book or a play and dive deep and look at the deeper meanings of the writings which I love."

"I enjoy taking IB Literature and Performance because I love analyzing poetry, and daily at the start of class we discuss a new poem."

"The class had been a lot of fun especially because I don’t have time in my schedule for a drama class so this allows me to still act while also getting a language credit in a fun class."

"I really like this class because it involves theater performances and analyzing those performances. It’s like the theater class I have always wanted to take. It really dives deeper into plays and gives you a deeper understanding."

"I genuinely was surprised when I found that this class was very involved and tested my creativity through performance and various activities. I felt that this was a one of a kind class, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this class, whether it be the performances, or especially the group discussions on brainstorming creative ways to replicate a performance on stage."
