DP1 - Essay Examples and Shared Grading
Each person should not just take one criterion and just look at that - I am hoping for a level of discussion and compromise on what each grade is going to be. The goal (and hope) is that four heads are better than one here.
From the IB itself, when creating these examples:
"Please note that marks and commentaries for example extended essays are to be used for guidance only. They are not definitive and have not been generated through the IB’s process of standardization. These interim examples, produced using essays written in accordance with the assessment criteria in the previous Extended essay guide, will be replaced with authentic examples following first assessment in 2027.
In addition, please note that the examples of the new RPF, which have combined the three separate reflections from the legacy reflections on planning and progress form, may not address the new assessment criterion E as closely as will an authentic RPF written for the 2027 assessment session onwards."
So what does that mean? These essays were written for the old rubric and re-graded for the new one. The IB doesn't have essays specifically written for your new rubric, and won't until kids start submitting them. So things may look slightly off, but in reality, the old essays, if done well, would still score well in the new rubric.
